If I have a bad day, the sense of it, the feeling of being upset, hurt, frustrated, discouraged, or even angry, is gone after I run a few miles. It’s amazing how after running even two miles it starts to ebb, and depending on the severity of the distress, eventually, all the anguish is gone, and I am renewed. Running is the ultimate stress reliever.
What a powerful elixir. It’s free, it’s available to me every day, and unlike a vacation, I have the satisfaction, the sheer appreciation that – barring a debilitating injury – it will be available to me for the rest of my life. How great is that?
