Running in the Rain: Introduction

By David Bonifacio

“Life is like a rainbow. You need both the sun and the rain to make its colors appear.”

I like running in the rain. I actually prefer it to running under the heat of the sun. I like it because it takes me back to a time when running was purest for me, when it wasn’t about my personal best, or the distance, or my outfit, but simply about enjoying myself and having a good time.

It’s with that picture, that picture of running in the rain as a kid, that I begin this section on www.naturalhealth.ph. I wanted to write about one of my passions, health, but I also wanted to approach it the way children approach anything: with curiosity, excitement, and fun.

Being healthy is very important. But just because something is important doesn’t mean it can’t be something that intrigues, excites, and brings joy.

It’s really a matter of perspective. If health to you is about starving and dying in the gym then you’ll never probably ever really sustain anything long enough to be healthy. But if it’s about discovering yourself, your body, your capabilities, and enjoying a better way of living then you’ll see the disciplines differently.

If you’d like to interact more with me or have questions feel free to add me on Twitter: davidbonifacio, join our forum here in www.naturalhealth.ph. I may no be able to answer all of you but I will try.

Wishing you all a lifetime of health – naturally.

David
