Introduction

Hello! My name is Adam. I am fourteen years old and one of my favorite thing to do is to run. I run cross-country, indoor track, and track at my high school. My fastest mile time is 5:15, my fastest 2 mile is a 11:30 and my best 5k is 17:42. The name of the blog comes from my nickname- Blade a Grass. The reason why is an inside joke of my team. This blog will hopefully help you to become a better runner and to understand more about running. Once you learn how to run, and to get past the mindset of hating running with every ounce of your passion. If you are willing to learn, it truly can be a great experience every run you do. Today, I'm going to start with one of the great results of running. It is that your body releases chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins are basically a happy drug. They reduce stress, they will make you feel more light-hearted, and they will give you a better outlook on life. Since your body releases these naturally, there are absolutely no bad side-effects of endorphins, they just make you feel better.  I hope to be writing more and to encourage more people to run!
