My Healthy Life
One of the things I do to maintain a healthy lifestyle and to feel good is run. I am an avid long distance runner which is code for I run for a loooooonnnnng time! One of my goals this year is to comeplete the Reggae Marathon which takes place in December in Negril, Jamaica [1]. I typically run 5 times a week for varying distances. Running helps to maintain my weight, keeps me fit and always brightens my mood when I have had a hard do. Running is also a good balance for me because I LOVE TO EAT good food! What do you do to stay healthy and fit?
