Runners by most accounts are contented people and have a positive view on life. I have often mentioned the fact that running is a very enjoyable form of exercise. It feels good to get outside and put in a few miles, get a little perspiration flowing, obtain a healthy glow to the skin from the blood moving up to the capillaries of the skin, and a chest full of air to clean out the alveoli of the lungs.
Each run is an adventure and a boost to your energy. Usually the first few miles at the beginning of a run has you struggling until your body gets in sync. Breathing gets in rhythm, heart rate is steady, and the muscles are warmed up after a mile or so. After the run you feel good and wide awake to meet the rest of the day.
Runners are always trying to recruit other people to give this running a try so they can enjoy the feeling as you do. You tell this other person that running is so easy to start and how great they will feel when they start running. Most runners tend to forget the first few days that they started to run and how they felt was not the same as they feel now as an experienced runner. But, being a person that needs some exercise this running exercise sounds like it is going to be fun. They can’t wait to get started tomorrow morning.
