Maybe I'm not losing the pounds as quickly as I'd like, however I'm finding other more important benefits to running. I'm so much less stressed. I don't snap as much at people. I'm overall happier. I'm sleeping better. Everything has just begun to click.
I'm a thinker and a wonderer. I've tried to stop the wondering because as a friend once told me, wondering only makes you want to go backwards. It's not a step forward. With running, I'm constantly thinking about going forward and who I've become, not who I was. I've left behind the girl with the issues and run into a happier, more fulfilling life. I'm at peace with myself. Quite frankly, it feels fantastic. I don't think I realized just how much I could love life before. I didn't realize I could be this happy and feel this way. Now that I do, I can't believe the change in myself. I've turned over a new leaf. I smile more. I'm more productive at work. I'm doing good things for myself simply by lacing up the shoes and heading out.
