run tara run

i have gotten to the point where i absolutely love running! for me it is a necessary and ultimately a very cathartic part of my day. and! today is national running day! i only know this because of one of the bajillion and a half emails i get from sparkpeople.com. it's a free website that offer tons of useful work out info, recipes and more! plus, it's free! you should check it out. just know that if you sign up for email notifications, you too can get a bajillion and a half emails from them.

my national running day email reminder was an article written by a staff member of sparkpeople.com who loves to run! she wrote fifty reasons of why she loves to run to celebrate national running day. i agree with forty-five out of the fifty reasons. so not too bad! and her list made me want to make a running list of my own. not fifty reasons why i love to run but a my must haves guide to running.

you must:

have cute shoes to run in

have music that makes you want to move

like smellikng like sweat when you are finished

challenge yourself

increase the distance each time

do intervals

notice and love the changes that happen to your body the more you run

enjoy the nature around you

forget about all your problems

wear sunscreen

watch out  up for stupid yappy dogs that try to bite/trip you

stretch like there is no tomorrow

and when you think you are done stretching, stretch more

cause it'll hurt tomorrow

and most importantly:

NEVER STOP!

even if you look like ridiculous:
