Define
your relationship with running.
My relationship with running these days is AMAZING!! I love it and live
for running; however it has taken me years to get to this point.
Running is
my best friend, my therapist and my ass kicker. When I have had bad day or need
to vent I love lacing up my shoes and hitting the pavement. Running gives me clarity
that I can’t find anywhere else.
If I have a
tough decision to make I hit the pavement and think it through. I used to make
pro/con list and they always helped me make decision but I can get very anxious
in my decision making so being able to hit the pavement and run helps with my
anxiety. I call it sweating out the anxiety.
Running has
helped me develop confidence in myself that I thought I lost with my eating
disorder. Each time I come back from a run I gain the part of me back that I
thought was lost forever. There are times when I feel like I am losing control
of my life again and like the world is spinning out of control all I have to do
is reach for my running shoes and I gain control again.
Running is
my drug, my lifesaver.
