I have been a runner since high school. The first time I ran was when my friend introduced me to the indoor girls' track team. During practice, we would run on top of the gym. There is a hole in the middle of the track. You can literally fall down to the next floor! We ran so much that we had runners' high. We also competed with other schools. It was simply wonderful. This is why I run.
After a few years of being occupied with career responsibilities such as finishing school and getting CPA, I revisited running. I don't know why, but I started running again. I did researching and founded Nike+ tracker. I still use Nike+ running app. Luckily, I have Central Park a few blocks from my workplace. Running in Central Park gave me a calmness from the hectic life as an accountant in a public firm. When I run on a treadmill, I can picture Central Park. It make running very enjoyable.
Running is not difficult. Running is knowing your limits. If you are first time runner, of course, you will be out of breath because your body is not used to it. You have to train your body. Be sure that you know when you should stop. If you feel funny or hear something unusual, you should stop!
Running can be rewarding. It gets your heart pumping and strengthening your bones. It also makes you feel good by releasing endorphins throughout your body. Yes, running can be addictive.
