One of the best things about running is that when you’re out there you have a lot of time to work through all the thoughts in your head. A lot of my day is spent muddling through, trying to keep up with all the stuff that comes up at work and then trying to have a life on top of that- yeah, sometimes hard. I applogize in advance if anyone is reading this who I work with. It is natural to get frustrated at work, especially when it’s work you don’t love. I don’t love my work. With that said, last night I got the energy I needed to basically sprint three 1.8 miles intervals from thinking about what a shitty day I had had at work. I “ran it out”. And I felt so much better at the end of it. Plus I slept like a baby. Sprinting over 6 miles will do that to you.
And I had a clear head at the end to think about more important things, like what to have for dinner! Running is good for the soul. Why didn’t I know about this before?
