So, i'm pretty sure whatever feelings I have about running (hate it, make it stop) are the ones i'm gonna continue to have. but it's so true that running makes me feel special. I guess that's why I keep doing it. Great post. You said a mouthful there. to get runner’s high, i think i’d have to injest illegal substances.

Just so you know, I don't get the runner's high either. I have to drag myself out the door. I only run so that later I can be happy that I run. But the actual running is a pain. (Hmm... don't think I explained that right. It's kind of like waking up early. I hate waking up early. But at noon, when I've already accomplished a lot, then I love <i>having</i> woken up early.)

And step away from the cookies. You'll feel so much better! Seriously, though -that was a great post and I am ALL too familiar with the despair and indifference to my own life that comes with not taking care of myself and eating compulsively. May those days never return. Just do it, baby! And step away from the cookies. You’ll feel so much better!

If you are then set a running goal, figure out how to get there; what you need to take with you to get there; what you have to pick up on the way; and get in that bubble of purpose that sets you apart and focused. All good things will come from the experience; even if you get there slowly. Good luck Grasshopper. oh ... and put the roley poley jolly ol' Santa costume away. It's bad for your self image.
