When my life gets cluttered, I can always count on a run to help me filter out the bull crap in my life. And when I say bull crap, I’m meaning the redundant things that hold me back from accomplishing the goals I’m pursuing in life. I like to say that when I have started my day with a run, it is like I’m wearing a shielded vest that reflects anything that comes my way.
As for this run, I took a moment during it to scout out a new route that I will be running sometime this week which may put me around the 1.5 mile mark, I estimate. Though I felt good enough to go longer, I had to gauge my responsibilities this morning to keep my run within a reasonable time in order to make my commitments. And as a seasoned runner, I am quite aware that a short run can make me feel just as good as a long run.

When I do not get runs in, I feel like a fish out of water. If many people seen it like that, they would have more of a push to get out and workout ; )
Way to goal for being healthy and starting the day with a shield!!

The power of endorphins ; )
Another place I’ve been, I have to say I really miss running. But you are right, a short run or a long run help emotionally and physically. There is that release of endorphins that make everything better!
Endorphins which I love! Humboldt Park is one of my favorite places to be one with nature while running like a madman, lol.
I can understand that. I used to (and still miss) running. But every day I am out walking!
And that is good. It is the next best thing to running, and better on the joints
I ran my right knee into the ground. Oh well.
After I run Detroit Marathon, I am considering toning it down on running. Detroit Marathon will be the 20th marathon I have ever ran.
That is an impressive achievement!
At some point, I will share them all in a post
That would be cool, I never did get to run a marathon.
I am still amazed at doing so many. Even one is a huge deal
I agree – I tried for about two years to do one, but kids came.
That would actually be a fun support system having kids, plus extra company where ever I run.
Family, can be a great system. I suspect I am on the right path for me now.
