Nourished Find: Running Heroes

Running. It’s what I do. When I’m not baking, snuggling with Chris, hanging out with my family, or buried inside a book: I run. I run for sanity, I run to lift my mood, I run to burn off my buttercream baby bump (the struggle is real), and I run because I love it.

I run alone.

I have run with a group before, and had a wonderful time when I did manage to drag myself out of bed at 4:30 on a Saturday morning.

I sometimes run with my sister, but she refuses to race with me anymore because I generally run ahead of her singing made-up dirty ditties at the top of my lungs to get her to chase me. (I’m a good big sister like that.)

Mostly, I run alone. And I love it. I run for freedom. I run because I love celebrating my body this way. I run for my own satisfaction, happiness, and the reward of just being kind to my body.

But sometimes, after putting in at least 45km per week on the pavement or the treadmill, I wouldn’t mind if someone else gave me a little healthy reward for my hard work. Enter: Running Heroes!Image may be NSFW.
