Why do you get happy when you run?
Physical Exercise Releases Endorphins: A run or other types of workouts release endorphins in the brain. Endorphins act as a natural drug that makes us more energetic and happier. Endorphins can kick in after or during a workout, and that's why we are happier after a run and not before. We all just thought it was because we did'nt have to run another mile

Learning to live with some failure
It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all — in which case, you fail by default. As a runner or triathlete, you might train for a marathon or Ironman for months, only to walk or crawl the final 10K or more. But so what? It’s better to have given it a shot and failed rather than to have passed on an opportunity for fear of failing. Besides, the great thing about these types of competitions are that there’s always another race, meaning a chance [...]
Wednesday MoJo
Don’t ever let someone tell you that you can’t do something. You got a dream, you got to protect it. Non-runners think runners are crazy, and a lot of people will question why you run. If you want to run, that’s all that matters. Don’t pay any attention to those people who might say running is silly and stupid. Just go out and do your thing, enjoy it and remember each and every run you own it good or bad, be proud of what you did.
