Valentine’s Day Special: 12 Reasons I Adore Running

For The Love Of Running

Even as a child, I loved nothing more than running. My parents tell me that my first spoken sentence was, “I want down!” And when I was put down, I was off and running. In elementary school, I can vividly remember my excitement for “mile day!” In fact, in third grade, I indicated in my end-of-year report that my greatest accomplishment was, “Getting an A+ on the mile.” My love for running has grown and evolved over the years.

So, instead of a dozen roses this Valentine’s Day, see this piece I wrote for Women’s Running Magazine about the top 12 reasons why I absolutely adore running!
