Restorative power of running

Last night I was exhausted. Days spent at the hospital with my grandmother had left me emotionally worn out. I felt a huge weight on my shoulders. A long day working and dealing with a cranky 4 year old meant I just wanted to crawl in bed early. BUT I knew my body would feel better with a run. So at 10:30pm I headed out. Each time my feet connected with the ground I felt lighter and lighter. By the time I came home I felt renewed.

Man I love running.

    I just connected the dots that I had never added your new blog to my reader! No wonder I feel like I have no idea whats going on with you! :) I will be praying for your grandmother!

  5. I love your blog! I love running and sinking to runners bliss and enjoying the associated runners high at the end. My weakness is that I am still learning how to use running as my release instead of my escape. But one thing I know for sure, there is nothing like it! :-D

    I really want to start to get back into jogging, but with this heat, you really do have to go really late at night or early in the morning, and I do yoga in the mornings. The treadmill is kinda lame but it was what I started with to beat the oppressive Texas oven!
