Sometimes you just need to run..

without distractions
without music
and with only the rhythm of your feet to guide and motivate you

I just ran for 30 straight minutes and it was amazing. I did not feel tired at all (I usually am exhausted by the 15-20 minute mark) and felt like I could’ve gone longer. This is why exercise spent entirely on a machine, staring at the monitor and waiting until I hit x amount of calories does not satisfy me anymore. Today, I ran to make myself stronger. As for the amount of calories I may or may not have burned? I couldn’t care less.
