Breathe


I had a conversation with a friend about running that kind of left me a little annoyed.
Mind you, this particular friend recently transformed her body into a fighting machine.
She didn't have a lot of pounds to lose; however, she did turn a lot of her mass into muscle.
Simply put, she made this comment that suggested that there's no skill involved in running.

I was a little insulted, and I humbly told her that there are a lot of things involved with the body when you run for distance.

I told her that breathing, posture, strides, landing, and so forth were involved.
She didn't say much after that.

Running is fun.
Running is hard.
Running kicks major calories' butt.
Running literally melts fat away.
I love running!

Hey it takes all kind of skill to run. You are doing great. I will be glad when I can run instead of walk.
