Running the crazy out

i know, good attitude dude, keep it up, bye for now - to work

i like ur statement that starts - Running helps me COPE (not running away in the opposite direction) with the daily stress

Running helps me cope with the daily stress of school, trying to find a job, and trying to get away from a life I refuse to live. It gives me some peace and brings back my sanity so I can keep dealing with the issues...

I am so excited I'm not the only one.  I tell people I run for my mind.  I have Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety Issues, A.D.D., and Clinical Depression.

Running regulates my mood, keeps me calm.  It also stops me from panicking and having moments where...

I started running after separating from my husband after discovering that he has been hiding alcoholism for a couple of years, and then he completely fell apart.  I have been raising my two kids on my own for 2 1/2 y...

  I definitely feel like I'm still in recovery from my half marathon Sunday.  My heels are still sore!  I have been able to bike ride, yoga, and do exercises.  I absolutely feel amazing though.  My legal battle is al...

Wow all of you have very inspiring and touching stories. I love running and mine is a journey of just showing myself that I can. I ask people the following question all the time. Do you remember when you first stopped...

Right now I'm in a holding pattern for some major changes in both personal and professional life and I can't speed up the process.......but I can run, and run and run....and...you get the point :)

40km in 5 days so far this week (staycation week) and have a 10mile hike planned for tomorrow :D

You are all so courageous and vulnerable.  Thanks for sharing, and more to come..

 I am in a legal battle right now that is affecting my whole family. I've found it to be unjust.  Running has given me the energy and mental strength to press forward.  How is running helping you ? 

I'll be running  to Gwilliam Lake and back on Saturday, that's 85 km. My reward is the 1/2 way point with a dip in the lake before I head home

Ran a 1/2 mountain today :-)

  I'm running a 8K tomorrow.  Proceeds go to St. Vincent Charities, providing needs for underprivileged kids.  I enjoy that portions of my running funds go to support others. I'm also going to get a great workout.  What are your plans? 

I have been married fro 33 years and I can also say thay since I have been running things don't seem to be such a big deal anymore.  We may even make it 33 more if I keep running.

Does this ever happen to you Kait?  "You have a fight with your spouse, you go for a run, you feel great because you've worked it all out on your run!  You come home and continue on with life in a happy zone and can't figure out why your husba...

Well put Olivia Z! 

They don't seem to teach us in highschool how to deal with the "ups & downs" of life...but as you & I have found out, running really helps!
