Run Happy!

Running is a universal gateway to health and happiness. There is nothing better than an exercise environment that is low cost, high reward and  does not come with a complicated user manual. Sometimes running can feel as though your heart, soul, and nature got together for a conference of pure bliss, which totally frees your anxiety and stress. Other times, it can feel like a time consuming burden, which actually makes you stressed out. No matter your relationship with running, one thing is true, that post run pleasure and sense of accomplishment, cannot be beat.

The concept of a "runner's high" is far from a myth. As a runner, you know that there is nothing like that post run feeling. But, a runner's high does not come only from increased endorphins and blood flow, it  also comes from a sense of pride and achievement.  Thus, the runner's high is not just a post exercise sensation, it is an actual state of being: I am happy because I run.

Runners are happy because their life is full of achievements. No matter how small, a run around the block on a hot afternoon, a 5K in the dead of winter, a quick 10 minute jog before the kids wake up - a little accomplishment goes a long way. It is the culmination of these small feats that turn a post workout running high into a long lasting sentiment of pride and good spirits. So don't just run, run happy!
