    Running is so much more mental than I ever thought it was..

    I couldn't agree more with this statement!! It is all in your head for sure... I have started running and I recently ran for 31 minutes no stopping.. that was a major accomplishment for me, I can't wait to be able to go for 60 minutes!! I actually could have kept going, but only had a short time to workout that day.

    I truly believe there is such a thing as a 'runner's high' ... I feel absolutely amazing after a run.

    Way to go ... awesome accomplishment!!
