While scouring Pinterest for running inspiration (a new favorite hobby) I stumbled onto this website. As I was going through the list, #39 really resonated with me: “Find your reasons; come up with at least five reasons and keep them close to heart.”

I took a moment and thought about why I run:

1. To help keep migraines at bay
2. To de-stress
3. To bond with friends who also run
4. To accomplish a goal (ie: my half marathon in March)
5. To prove to myself that I can
6. [bonus reason] Because I am lucky enough to physically be able to run
