The truth is there are many reasons to love running and waking up with the crack of dawn to fill your soul leave your body is just one of them. Despite popular belief, being good at running is optional. Simply throw some money at the problem and invest in running gear which is brighter than your future.

Running is also great for your heart. After all, dating apps stopped working a long time ago. Running also gives you a valid excuse to stretch in public. It's like saying I need this attention for my hamstrings, not my ego. I promise. Now I'm not saying running is a cult or anything, but if you do happen to be part of it, then you must be winning.
