... Read moreRunning day is more than just a time to put on your sneakers—it's a call to action that energizes both your body and mind. From my own experience, responding to this call often leads to a refreshed mindset and enhanced physical well-being. One of the key motivators I’ve found is running with friends. Having running friends not only keeps me accountable but also transforms the run into an enjoyable social event, which makes it easier to stay consistent. When you slide on your running shoes to answer the call of running day, you’re engaging in a routine that strengthens your cardiovascular health, builds endurance, and helps manage stress. Personally, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my mood and energy levels after regular runs. It helps me clear my head and prepare for the day ahead. For anyone struggling with motivation, scheduling runs with a group or a running buddy can be a game changer. It turns motivation from a solo challenge into a shared journey. Moreover, celebrating small milestones together—whether it’s a new distance or a better pace—creates positive reinforcement. Remember to listen to your body and gradually increase your distance and intensity to avoid injuries. Incorporating rest days and cross-training can complement your running regimen effectively. Lastly, enjoy the process: running days are invitations to connect with yourself and others while embracing a healthier lifestyle.

I would NOT have considered myself a runner earlier this year. I've always enjoyed sprinting but long distance running was never my thing or something I was good at. But I decided to sign up for a 10 mile race in the summer to challenge myself and by surprise I slowly began to love running!!

How to Get Into Running
My best advice is to start slow and run/walk 2-3 times a week! Slowly decrease your walking amount each time and increase your running amount! I struggled getting my first 2-4 miles but I was going out way too fast so my body got too tired too early. It’s also good to establish goals. Do you want t
