Running helps me to…

December 5th, 2007

Be happy – It’s easier to walk around with a smile

Feel healthy – I know my heart’s getting into good shape and I’m losing weight.

Deal with different people – Especially at work, some of these people are really “odd”

Feel smarter and more capable – Just pass me that crossword and watch magic happen

Not worry quite so much – I stomp it out on the treadmill.

Feel like I’ve accomplished something at night – Lights out, so is Melissa – off an dreaming and getting geared up for the next morning’s run.

I don’t know why I ever stopped. Funny how getting down on yourself with family issues and such can make you discipline yourself by taking away things that you actually enjoy!

    It is weird how we “punish” ourselves sometimes by denying what really makes us feel good. Glad to see you’re in touch with yourself :)

    My primary motivation for exercise is feeling more relaxed… it helps me deal with other people. I am much happier since I started exercising.

    You make a good point! I do the same, when things get stressful I tend to take out the enjoying things!
