As I just finished my 21st marathon and I am feeling great about my running accomplishments, I am excited to share how running rocks. As a longtime runner and fitness enthusiast I have surrounded my life around running and cross training. In fact in all the important moments of my life, running seemed to be somehow a part of it. And with every bit of adversity in my life, running was what helped me to reflect and work through. Although I enjoy to cross train, there is nothing more amazing than a solo run as time to reflect on life and become at peace with myself. With each strike of my foot my body and mind are in rhythm and I feel like I can conquer the world. So here is how running rocks and if you are not a runner, maybe you should think about giving the sport a try!
