To Run or Not to Run?

10 Proven Benefits of Running: Why Runners Live Better and Longer

Run. That’s a word the makes me think of two very different things.

There’s Run BTS, a reality series type thing where BTS do these different games or activities usually competing against each other for different goals and prizes. Then, there is the action of walking at a high speed, run.

That’s what I am referring to. I figured I just had to clear it up because so many people and #ARMY might be confused.

I recently have started running every night with my friend who is about to go into the National Guard. He, Woody, is doing it to try and train and get into some top group or something and I just like running. I always got a weird joy from it, but it wasn’t until recently that I really realized, wow ! I like this a lot actually. 🙂

That might sound lame or like gross athlete energy. I am so not into sports like that though, however I really think everyone should try running.

For me, I go to a track. Even though I am just running in circles along a set monotone view I am drawn to return daily. I feel as though there is a certain liberation that springs up while the run is going down. Sometimes, problems seem farther away, and are no longer gnawing into my main frame of thought. You can almost escape your worries even if just for an hour, or even 15 minutes. It’s cool.

Sometimes even, being a writer, I’ll hit ideas as I’m going and I will greet them and let them run along with me. They take off with me, and sometimes they can’t keep up and I lose them. Either way, my mind encounters and goes places I’m not quite sure it would with my daily routines during school. 

This is why I encourage you to try and do the same. I didn’t even mention you’ll probably lose some weight. 

I also need to mention that this is just my case. Some people feel the need to run alone instead of with friends, and some need to run through a neighborhood to get new exciting scenery to keep the run interesting. My thoughts just do that part for me, and in my condition I just find it more convenient to go to the track at night. All I will say to make sure of, is if you’re listening to music through headphones or not, stay safe and aware of your surroundings.  That is also a circumstance why running along with a pal may be a better option than a solo go. ♥

I say put the U in rUn and try it ! Who’s to say you won’t love it? Worst case scenario you just wasted 30 minutes of your day you may have wanted to reserve for being on your phone. 😉

I think it is only fitting to end this blog with a music video all about running. 

This is BTS’ “Run.” Have fun and stay safe ! ♥
