Unexpected side effects (benefits) of running

[Wanna-Be]

I expected to get fitter, sleep better even find my hormones are a bit more balanced. I did not expect I would get a little more flexible (all that post run stretching) and find myself wanting healthier food!

Has anyone else had unexpected benefits from running?

I've discovered that I'm less of a stress head and much happier 😊

I've also developed an expensive sportswear habit!

I’ve lost a few pounds and definitely sleeping better

The food thing rings true with me, still a bit too fond of my grub but cravings tend to be for healthy stuff rather than junk now.
