nada2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) I am not athletic at all, but running helps me so much to stop temporarily my brain from driving me over the edge. I run marathons Last Sunday, I ran 20 miles. Why? because it made me feel happy for the 3 hours it took me to do it. I am going it again a week from Sunday, but this time it will be with a lot of people. Last week it was pretty much just me. I have ambitious plans to run very long distances, but I'm on unpaid leave, and when my bank account runs out, I will be in troubles. Aanyway, I will make it work. I am hoping for an epiphany, when I will change my life. But I have to run much further than 20 miles for that to happen. In May I will run 32 miles. Then I wil run 60 miles.

I am going it again a week from Sunday, but this time it will be with a lot of people. Last week it was pretty much just me. I have ambitious plans to run very long distances, but I'm on paid leave, and when my bank account runs out, I will be in troubles. Aanyway, I will make it work. I am hoping for an epiphany, when I will change my life. But I have to run much further than 20 miles for that to happen. In May I will run 32 miles. Then I wil run 60 miles. i was thinking about starting to do that myself. i need to do something to make myself feel good rather than getting off work, hitting the sofa to watch tv all night thinking about her. PLUS i want to get super fit so she'll look back and say DAMN...i screwed up big time!!! LOL but i do know what you're talking about. running is a great way to escape for a bit and let off some steam, which i have plenty of right now. i think i'll go home and go for a little jog. can't do the 20 like you but i think a nice 30 mins worth should do just fine for now.
xxoo Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I run much shorter distances, but yes, that time running is invaluable for my mental health.

You shouldn't run randomly, It would be a dangerous thing to do. 10 mins is a good start then Increase your mileage gradually. Don't let your weekly mileage increase by more than 10%. If you're new, so if you run every day, you're not going to gain much strength and you're increasing your risk of injury. so be careful. Personally, I ask a running expert and I think you should, too.
Author nada2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Author Posted April 3, 2013 I run much shorter distances, but yes, that time running is invaluable for my mental health. When I'm down or upset, I go running or cycling, I prefer running though cycling is a hell of a lot easier. No matter how fast or slow you run never stop enjoying the friendships and experiences running gives you. to be honest, It was something that I had to do, But Lately, I've been loving it a lot.
h3braica Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 after the BU i decided to engaged myself in running. 5km to 10km. feels good doing it. 1
fabulousgal Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Running is great. I have ADD and think too much, and still do when I run, but I feel on top of the planet. These investments in self are so important. Never lose sight of them, even when you do have a bf/gf. 1

If you're running 20 miles and more, I think you're pretty athletic!! 1
