• Strong legs all around
• Stronger body all around
• ENDORPHINS!!!
• You can eat more.
• Fastest way I know to lose weight.  Period. 
• ENDORPHINS

• Great excuse for being outside.
• Self respect.
• Goals (see self respect).
• ENDORPHINS
• Good music
• Time alone
• ENDORPHINS
• FUN runs. AKA fun runs.
