A few thoughts on this. Running for me has given me so much confidence. To be able to stick to a training schedule and complete a race affirmed to me that I can do anything I put my mind to. I love the feeling of being fit. I love the feeling after a run.
Lastly, a really cute pair of running shoes gets me excited to put them on and go. I love compliments on my running shoes. I'm not one who feels super comfortable in tight/cute exercise gear so shoes are my way of bringing fashion into my runs.
