Hi, I’m Marisa and I blog over at The Pace of my Life. I am a wife and mom of two wonderful kids, as well as, a full-time teacher to 32 six-year olds, and I love to run (among other things)! I am currently training for The Giant Race, a half marathon in San Francisco and will be running my first marathon in December, Rock n Roll Las Vegas.
Why I Run...
Over the last eighteen months, running has become an important part of my life and it has change my life in many very positive ways.
There are many reasons I run, here are a few:
- To be fit...running has helped me shed over 25 pounds.
- To be healthy...running has kept me healthier than I’ve been in year.
- To lower my stress levels...when I feel stressed, I run. I feel better almost instantly!
- To be a better wife...a happier, healthier, more fit me makes for a better wife.
- To be a better mom...if my patience are low, I run. My patience return. Running also gives me some “me time!”
Running makes me a better me!
Do I think everyone should run? No! Of course, not.
I do think there is value in finding that “thing” that produced the same results for you!
A big thank you to Natasha for letting me invade her space for a day!
Thanks for reading and come on over and visit The Pace of my Life when you have a chance!!
