The Impact Running or Fitness Has Had on Your Life It’s rather an ordinary story, but I feel it will make for a good read if you are someone who’s recently got interested in running. This is the story of how daily running changed my life for good. And why I think it’s a great way to take care of our body.
Why I Started Running Having born and brought up in the metro and getting caught up with work in the corporate world soon after college took a heavy toll on my health. As I continued to focus on my work, by the time I realized that my health was suffering – backache and neck ache, laughable stamina, and a growing paunch – I had lived five years of my adult life without much physical activity. It took a doctor’s consultation for me to finally take fitness seriously. As you know that running requires more mental strength than anything else, I woke up one day, wore my slippers, and just went out for a stroll. No plan, no alarm, no schedule. I just walked out. That was the start of my fitness regimen, which I followed up with daily strolls. Those brisk walks eventually turned into running. I would keep a fixed timing for my runs and stick with it regardless of my schedule. I even went for runs during my annual vacations.
