That movie was definitely a good one. i just watched “What about Bob?” last night. Hilarious! It’s good that you turned your anger into something constructive I think!

You need to get some sleep and take good care of yourself. The problem that I have with running angry is that it feels great at the time but then when I get home and analyze what I’ve done then I get MORE angry for not having the self-discipline to stop myself. Vicious, vicious cycle!

The same thing happens to me. If only I could be really mad at someone/something on race day I would have a PR at every race. Although, I am thankful I don?t get mad easily. I think I would rather run slow. :)

I tend to find that when I run angry or frustrated (which usually happens after a long day at work), I do feel better afterwards. All of that serotinin helps to calm me down. My problems aren’t solved, but I can look at them with more dispassion and objectivity.

I actually workout better when I’m angry. I’ve even been accused of getting people riled up just before I workout so I can get mad and run better. I swear I don’t, but it’s not a bad idea…

Anger is the path to the DARK SIDE Jon! Remember running is supposed to be fun. That being said, I like running if I’m angry because I like going faster, but in the end I don’t go as far. It feels good though to get it out of your system though, doesn’t it?

I love running angry, it’s the best remedy! When I’m too exhausted to lift my pinkie after run, I have no energy to hate anything either :D Hope things easen up in Jon’s life after while though. Have a nice weekend!

I tend to have the best runs when I’m angry…I can go farther and faster than I expect, and, if I’m lucky, when I’m done I feel like I’ve sweated out all the angry that was in me…

Been there with the angry running, though it never seems to have the effect I want. I want the run to take care of my anger, but it doesn’t by itself. Instead I’ve had to choose to put the noise out of my skull and focus on the footsteps. It doesn’t take away the problem, but it lets me step outside it for a while at least.
