There is a time and a place for treadmills, I will admit. But outdoor running is what made me fall in love with the sport so of course I want everyone else to try it too. It is a completely different experience than in a gym and when people tell me they hate running, I ask them if they run inside or outside. It is such a simple thing but it intimidates a lot of people. So, of course, I am here to convert you. But, instead of me writing a long boring post about the morning dew and cool air I thought I would make a top ten list. Because lists are fun!
10. The morning dew and cool air on an early run 
9. The scenery CHANGES.
8. When you have to give yourself a pep talk to make it up a hill, there are less people around to notice that you are talking to yourself. (come on, it can’t be just me!)
7. You get a lot of aggression out yelling at stupid drivers who don’t want to share the road.
6. You get to work on your tan. Granted it is a funky tan line …
5. You can’t help but think about how you are going to find a dead body in the bushes one day. Because it is always the early morning runners that find dead bodies in the bushes.
4. Fresh air does amazing things for your lungs. We don’t spend enough time outside.
3. You don’t have to waste gas driving to the gym, just step out of your front door!
2.If you pay attention, you see a lot of cool/random stuff. I.E. The severed My Little Pony head around mile 2 this morning.
1. Once you get far from home you can’t just quit. You have to finish!
