Who likes to run? I dont believe many do, but running is the best thing you can do for your body! Running relaxes you, relieves stress, makes you emotionally happier, speeds up your metabolism, gains muscle, and decreases any signs of depression. In terms of school, running is great for the brain! Running makes you more alert and better at learning! Even if your not in cross country, grab a friend and run a mile or so a day! This will improve you overall! Who wouldnt want to run after hearing all of these benefits?

I would like to run a mile or so everyday, but I live in the country and it's hilly every where around my house. I can run up and down the court in basketball for hours but can't runa mile.

Rachel,

Can you provide links to websites that proves that running does running does all those helpful things? This is important to validate what you are saying is actually scientifically proven and not just what you think.

This is really interesting. I enjoy running, but I had no idea that it helped you learn better or made you happier. That's awesome. Just more reasons to keep on running. GO HCHC XC!!
