I’ll be honest, life is being difficult at the moment. I’ve had some shit thrown in my direction lately, and for the few moments in my life when I have felt down, this is one. It’s been hard to get out of bed in the morning. I never have a hard time getting out of bed.  The cup is always half full though, I have no problem seeing the positives and I trudge through the mud pretty steadily.

My one saving grace right now is running. I swear, I need to give my body a break but I can’t quit. I am addicted.  It is absolutely incredible the feeling that comes with that, and the calm it creates in my head.  I have always noticed it, but right now it is amplified! Without a girlfriend keeping me solid or encouraged, running is my new mate. My soul mate.

I’ve been waking up with a foggy head, foggy feelings, foggy goals and motivations, and as soon as I get into my run things start clearing up.  It is a perfect decompression time, to calm myself before the day even gets going.

Not only that but it caries through my day. Cheers me up. I know there is science behind all of this, with endorphins and such, but I don’t know much about that. And I don’t need to. All I know is that when I’m bummin, I am runnin. (ha, so cheesy but I could care less).

I already can’t wait to go running again. I wish my body was like Forest Gump’s or I- Man and I could just keep running. Ha, that would be awesome.
