Running is a wonderful thing. I could go on and on about today’s Tuesdays on the Run topic. As I’m sure you’ll agree, there are so many “best things” about running. But here’s my best thing…
It takes me to where my friends and family are.
It takes me to new places to explore.
It takes me to new accomplishments.
It takes me to meet new people.
It takes me to new challenges.
Most importantly, it takes me to my happy place as I run all my stress away.
The best thing about running is that it takes me to precisely where I need to be, even if I didn’t know I needed to be there.
What’s the best thing about running for you?



Running definitely helps me to manage stress too, and I love the accomplishments and exploring new places! Great list!

Stacey recently posted…My Favorite Thing About Running
I love that running has consistently taken me out of my comfort zone, given me an excuse to travel, and taken me to a new level of confidence!
Running has given me so much! I’ve made a career out of my passion, been to great places and take better care of myself because I run. But for me, it’s the people I’ve met along the way that keep me going strong.

That is another reason why I love running. Because it puts two of my favorites things together, running and traveling. Love racecations!

Running has always been my go-to for stress release. When I fell out of running, and my job got really stressful, I wasn’t fun to be around. I quit that job and got back to running. Life got good again.

Oh! I love your answer! There are so many good answers to this question, but I went with Friends! I do love that running has taken me so many new places, both locally and in other states, that’s been a huge part of it, but I think I’d never have made it to those places without my friends.
Running has done so much for me – especially as a stress reliever and sanity check!
