Thank you so much for this - I am a runner too, and when I say/type those words I am still surprised everytime. <br /><br />Quick question - how do you run on your lunch break? Are there showers available at your work?

I just discovered everything good about running that you have (though I have found the runner's high, every once in a while).<br /><br />For me it's the CRAVING for a run that defines me as a runner. If I don't run, I'm climbing the walls or moping about or just generally snippy and stressed.<br /><br />xxxSerenityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765237663006604157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626032.post-9105835962847697332010-05-03T02:20:22.580-07:002010-05-03T02:20:22.580-07:00Now I wish I had packed my running gear!!

I too have twins, and I never thought I'd do that kind of workout again. Then a friend who was training for a half marathon came to visit in December, and next thing I knew, we were running outside, down to the river and through the park.

I'm trying to get to the point of considering myself a runner - not there yet, but I've signed up for a marathon relay (~6 miles for my leg), and I'm hoping by the time I run it I will feel like one! I do all my runs alone, and it's definitely a good way to ponder and/or zone out, whatever A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04738641472687270029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626032.post-48476581397755522532010-04-30T20:03:13.856-07:002010-04-30T20:03:13.856-07:00Good luck!

I didn't particularly enjoy it but it gave me something productive to focus all of my anger and sadness and confusion on. It put me back in control of my body. <br /><br />Then I had to move to school and I missed a day of running, then a week, and pretty soon I MDThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03296473847987131734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626032.post-9516163399325895152010-04-30T19:58:34.579-07:002010-04-30T19:58:34.579-07:00I totally get it, I started running 2 years ago an...I totally get it, I started running 2 years ago and moved along to doing a marathon in Dec. The feeling of always challenging myself is what I love, along with finally reclaiming my body after 3 kids. I'm with you, I don't always want to run, but I am never sorry I went.
