1 Burn Fat

human action, person, clothing, muscle, leg, Since running is one of the highest calorie burners, if you want to lose weight, then running is a no-brainer. Lace up your running shoes, put your hair in a ponytail and head out to the streets for a great run.

2 Get Rid of Stress

human action, person, sports, season, physical exercise, It's amazing how exercise rids your body of unwanted stress. As a runner I speak from complete experience. Running is the ultimate stress reliever. Running will have your brain producing endorphins - happy chemicals. This will have you solving problems, smiling and finishing your runs feeling stress free!

3 Have Fun

human action, person, sports, muscle, jogging, It's a rare day when I do not find myself having fun on my run. Maybe it is the feeling of accomplishment or the breeze in the air. If you do not believe me, put on your running sneakers and put your body to the test!

4 Better Health Markers

5 Reduce Everyday Sickness

7 Build Confidence

8 The Bling

tree, christmas tree, christmas, christmas decoration, woody plant, I'm not going to lie: I love collecting medals at the end of the races I finish, and even better, the races I win! They're really fantastic... I mean, how many other things will you do in life that you'll get a medal for?

9 Progress, Baby!

clothing, human positions, sitting, fashion, leg, Running can yield measurable results, in time and in distance, and that's important when you're setting goals. For example, when I first started running, I couldn't make it 1/4 mile without stopping, and this spring, four years into running, I ran my first marathon — 26 miles! It's so wonderful to be able to track your progress!

10 (Run)Inspired
