To all my fellow MFP runners, whether it's a 6 minute or 14 minute mile, whether its 1 mile or 26.2...you are a runner and part of something that I know has changed my life for the better in many ways! On National Running Day, the question is asked: Why do you run?
I run because it provides me a chance to get away from the stresses of life. It has improved my self confidence and ability to believe in myself that I can do anything because through running I have done many things I never thought possible. It has also brought me to so many wonderful friends and has helped me achieve many goals, physical and emotional.
I love to run...why do YOU run?

Running is my daily anti-depressant. It's much cheaper than therapy!0

Yay! Happy Running Day!
I run because it makes me feel empowered, rejuvenated and calmer. It's also a pretty incredible feeling to know that I can call myself a "runner!"0 -
It's fantastic stress-relief to have a good run and stretch after work, and I love that I can run pretty much anywhere as long as I bring my shoes!
Today is 4 miles, and I'm training for a half marathon in October. Runrunrun!0
