WHY DOES RUNNING PUT YOU IN A BETTER MOOD? The answer is endorphins.  These chemicals, which act like morphines, are released by your brain when you're under stress.  Studies have found that the level of endorphins circulating in your system can be more than twice as higher after you run compare to while you are at rest.  When you're under a lot of stress, be more diligent in carving out a time to run. Those endorphins that flood through your body will keep you calm as you work through your problems.  Also, as you become more fit, you are going to have a better self image.  You will feel better about how you look and about your health.  So what are you waiting for? Put on those running shoes and start running!.

"Confidence comes not from inspirational speeches, pep rallies or blind hope.  It comes from actual achievement, accomplishing performance day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, decade after decade no matter the industry conditions." Jim Collins

  1. I USUALLY RUN AT LEAST 3 TIMES A WEEK BUT WHEN I FEEL STRESSED OR FRUSTRATED I ALWAYS GO FOR A RUN SINCE IT MAKES ME FEEL SO MUCH BETTER I GET WHAT IS CALLED A "RUNNERS NATURAL HIGH" (GO ENDORPHINS!)
