Happy Tuesday! It’s time for another edition of Tuesday Topics. This week’s Tuesday Topic: It’s Valentine’s Day. Share why you love running! You can write about this, or any other running topic. Remember to link-up with Kim and Zenaida and the bottom of this post.
I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day since I’m been single for too many years to count at this point BUT I do love to take this day to talk about all the things I love about running.
Running Friends
This will always be my number 1 reason why I love running! Runners are a special breed. Sometimes we do things that don’t make sense to a lot of people like:
– Waking up at 5am on a Saturday to get in a long run OR
– Paying money to run a race OR
– Running on vacation or during a racecation
You get the idea 🙂 Every year I feel so appreciative to have met my running tribe. Through blogging and social media, I’ve connected with so many female runners, and I’ve been lucky enough to meet many of them in person. I’m happy to say that I consider all of these women to be my friends.
It’s challenging
With running, there’s always something that you can work on – distance, speed, cadence, breathing, stride, etc. Because I can always make running challenging, I never get bored with it.
Confidence
While I still doubt my running abilities when it comes to certain things, I am glad to say that running has definitely given me more confidence over the years. I’ve been able to channel that confidence into other aspects of my life as well.
Memes
It’s no surprise that I love to laugh and memes are a part of all of my week in review blog posts. I find running memes, really fitness memes in general, to be some of the funniest. I feel like you can find a meme for basically any running situation.
Tell me: What do you love about running?

I love how you say that we pay money to run a race. Pretty crazy, right? 🙂
kookyrunner says
So ridiculous when you really think about it, but it oddly makes so much sense lol
