Couldn’t donate today! Actually had a lovely day with my Mum and little sister, and this wonderful cold (‘temporary immune system failure’). So instead I donated a happy 6 mile walk to the ‘Fighting Infection With Sweat and Laughter’ (FIWSAL) fund instead 🙂
That being said, I do enjoy a good rage-filled run on occasion. Most of the time the rage disappears in the first few miles and is replaced by the gorgeous glow of endorphins. Remember ‘happy people don’t kill their husbands [read: rude people on the road], they just don’t’.
ARG!!! i wish i could come over there and kick the tush of that virus/bug that’s keeping u down!! ugh, feel better soon and don’t u worry, ur donation is ALWAYS appreciated no matter the form. 😉
I donated 13 miles today (but, as you know, only 3 were ‘real’!).
Love the new pics. AND running out frustration is super helpful. I usually do it when life in general becomes overwhelming. An early morning Monday or Tuesday run before class is perfect. As is a run after seeing a physio who tells you to take it easy (ggrrrrr).
YES, to running pissed! 🙂 all of my night-time miles are fueled by my stressful day at work! and I feel sooooo much better when I return. Once I’m about 4-5 miles in I am able to think clearly and solve some issues with my anger, but usually i’m just frustrated with things that are ongoing (like when I can’t find the correct solution to healing my patient)
LOVE this post Cait!
I hope you’re having a great weekend!
xoxo!
Love this post. so fun but true. I run all too often to release anger and stress. I am glad I have running for this outlet, I think a few more people could use it also.
I have definitely used running to get through my rage, sadness and depression. It’s the greatest cure and you always run your best when you are pushing yourself that hard!
