6 Reasons Running Makes a Great Valentine

Uncategorized

In honor of Valentine’s Day (and because I still cannot run very much), I decided to do a list of the top reasons that running makes a great valentine:

  1. For each mile you run, you can eat approximately 100 more calories of chocolate (or other type of candy, wine, etc.)!
  2. Running keeps you in great shape, which helps you look hot in the outfit you wear out to dinner with your valentine.
  3. A runner’s high is one of the greatest feelings EVER. Sounds like the perfect aphrodisiac to me!
  4. If you are going to fall madly in love with anything, running is a great option–it keeps you in shape physically AND mentally.
  5. There are some fantastic races in exotic locales that are also perfect for a romantic getaway- Sevilla Marathon anyone?
  6. Depending on your location, you can run by beautiful flowers, rather than having to wait for someone to give them to you (or buy them yourself!).

I have decided that instead of sending me a valentine, you can all just run a mile for me – running vicariously through my readers is the next best thing! Hope everyone enjoys the day and gets a nice, romantic dinner, wine, chocolate, or whatever makes you happy!c
