How did it start?I started to run in December, 2013. The first reason was to stay fit and to loose some weight. However, after one month I started enjoying running itself.

me happy!

How does running contribute to my personal

and professional development?

Running improves my ability to learn

Researchers led by Dr. Bruce Spiegelman at Dana-Farber and Harvard Medical School have found that a specific molecule called FNDC5 released during endurance exercise improves cognition and protects the brain against degeneration(Cell Press journal Cell Metabolism, October, 2013)

Running teaches me patience and disciplineSince I set the days and time for Running, it develops my discipline. Besides, Running shows me that the results of the training do not appear quicky. Moreover, you should slowly increase the amount of time you run, if you do not want to be injured. Thus, I run day after day knowing that eventually, over time, I will achieve bigger goals, and I just have to be patient. 

Running teaches me how is important to be

persistent Every training increases my stamina and shows me that no matter how hard is to run or how much I am tired, I should not give up. If I set the goal, I shoud reach it. There is no other way!Running inspires me to achieve new aims and teaches me to never give up on my dreams.

Running helps me to be focused and to

think outside he boxWhile I am running I usually stay alone with my thouhts and nothing disturbs me. Thus, Running helps me to stay focused and to find creative solutions to my problems. Sometimes I even create some ideas about my future business projects.

Running helps me to meet new people and

make new friendsI am a member of different groups and communities connected with running. In these communities I can meet people who share my passion for running and ask for advice or share the experience.

Running shows me that even hard and

monotonous work can bring you happiness

If you reaally enjoy something, then any hard work will be a pleasure for you.

Running teaches me how to live in the

world of competitionLife is a long-term distance. If you want to succeed, you should develop yourself everyday and try to be better every momen. If you stand still, your competitors will overtake you.
