"Those who regularly engaged in vigorous exercise — the kind that makes you break a sweat — had a particularly lower risk of cardiovascular disease mortality.
And even just 10 to 75 minutes per week made a difference." — @nytimes

People ask me why I run. Because I love it in my bones. And also I’m crazy and running is the only thing that keeps me sane(r). Honored to be able to share my story on @outsidemagazine
Eighteen years ago, I was one of the best runners in the country, then a mysterious fatigue took that away. Now I’m learning to appreciate the running I still can do. bit.ly/3ybHqfQ
"Now 42, various bits of me creak and ache, and I wonder how the benefits of cardiovascular fitness and general wellbeing – from fresh air, sunlight, early mornings and better diet – balance out against the stress running might put on my joints...
At least I’m not a man." 😬

"Not only do these results help explain why exercise makes you move, think, and feel better, they also show that these benefits continue even if you do not work out every day."

Love this! ❤️
Ran 10.25 miles today
Exchanged 15 hellos, mornings, nods, & waves.
My favorite? The one who initiated a wave, across a 4 lane street.👋🏼
Make someone’s day today - initiate, respond, share a moment.

"Amateur runners are adults who have created space for running in their life. Out of the infinite things they could do with their very finite time and energy, they chose this. That is love."

If you are not following my friend @mikewardian ‘s latest adventure, you really should. His epic runs are legendary in the running community, but this is mind-boggling, and for truly important cause. (Also, he’s a great guy) Give a look, donate if you can. Thanks.
Athlete @mikewardian has begun his trek across the country where he plans on running 50 miles a day until he has crossed the entire US. The purpose of this long run is to raise $100,000 to help @worldvision provide clean water to communities around the globe. #nathansports
