The really great thing about running is that we have to keep moving. Literally. Standing still is not an option. Running may just be the perfect form of exercise: stand up, fall forward, repeat.  Like the runners in the photo above, we runners have lots to celebrate:

It’s easy to do.  Runners can spend lots of money on shoes and hi-tech gear but all we really need are comfortable shoes, shorts and a t shirt.  And some even believe we don’t even need shoes!  George?

Running is an all-weather sport.  Rain or snow, hot or cold, runners get outdoors as often as possible.  And while indoor running on a treadmill is great, running outside is better.

Swimming has its benefits but arms, legs and lungs pale next to gills and fins.

And cycling…a blown tire ruins your fun time.  And competing with traffic…!!

Some of us are lifetime runners while others wait until later in life.  We are all joined by the sheer joy of … running!

We have our personal reasons for running:  alone time, reduce stress, socialize and health.  All that really matters is that we keep moving.

Whatever ever your reason, this weekend in Portmore there is a great excuse to celebrate running at the NHF Portmore 5K.  Click on the link for more details and join the Reggae Marathon in another celebration of our favorite sport, running.
