Hello C’s Class

Okay so you must be wondering if I survived my run…well obviously because I am writing this blog. But…I not only survived it but I loved it!

I ran 2.61K and haven’t worked out since September! I took my dog with me (I’ll post a pic of him below. He’s the cutest!) Anyways, he is 8 years old and he isn’t the best runner..so I had to pack the run in early because I didn’t want to kill him haha. But honestly if I didn’t take Murphy I would have kept running, it felt so good! Then I signed up for my 10K in April and I’m pretty pumped.

So what are the pros and cons to running? Well let me tell you! The pros are pretty obvious. If you are running outside you get fresh air, get to look at scenery, great for your lungs and heart, helps lose weight, it is decently cheap compared to getting a gym pass, and you feel pretty damn great after you go for a run. So mental health is definitely improved in my personal experience. I honestly felt like for the first time I was running for myself and not because other people were telling me I should run. I was putting my self first and staying at a pace that felt right for me and also listened to some pretty great tunes. Tunes are an essential if you are running…in my opinion!

So what are the cons? Well if you don’t like running DON’T RUN! Who cares if people say you should go for a run, if you don’t vibe with it then don’t do it. You’ll end up feeling anxious and probably push yourself because of peer pressure. If you do like running but still push yourself you can get injured…so don’t do that! Here is a resource so you can check out for more pros and cons.. also it will link you to a bunch of other awesome articles! Click HERE

This past week I have moved into my own place! Yay exciting, but it has taken me away from running… so I will be getting back to it this week and exploring my next self-care activity… so stay posted! Also Bought this cool running belt to put my phones and keys in when I run!

Anyways, back to unpacking my boxes. Have a good week class!
