It’s no surprise that running can be addicting. You can’t possibly pump your body full of that many endorphins and not expect to get addicted to it. Well, I recently found out marathoning is no different. From the moment I crossed the finish line at Big Sur just over a week ago, I haven’t stopped thinking about my next marathon- when will it be, where, how will I do, can I finally set a time goal? So, when I saw this graphic on Pinterest, I thought it was perfect for this week’s Monday Motivation. Happy running this week!

Couldn’t agree more. Running is addictive. When you have a good run, you want to follow it up with another. If you have a bad run, you want to get back out and do better. Probably the only fitness activity that I’ve experienced that leaves me wanting more.
I feel exactly the same way! There’s nothing better than a really good run and there’s nothing sweeter than going out and making up for a bad run.
Totally agree! :) I am always so excited for my next race right after finishing one.
Same! Sometimes I wish my races weren’t so far apart. I guess I just need to register for more :)
My first half I crossed the finish line and was actually disappointed the race was over. We’ll see how the first full marathon goes…but I totally know what you mean!!
I’m sure you’re going to feel the same way after crossing the finish line of your first full! You may not want to run a marathon again right away but the urge for 26.2 miles will definitely be there :)
The other day I finished a run and my first thought was that I wished I could do another one. I’m definitely a runner’s high junkie, but this is one addiction I won’t curb!
Hey, no one ever said you can’t run twice in one day, right? ;) I completely agree though!
