I love this blog! I really love social runs with friends, even friends who are not as fast as me, I will just use that as my easy run and try to push and help them, so I get a boost from the run but also from encouraging them and the social aspect too. I also squeeze in runs between working at my big girl job and heading to the track to coach.
To me, running definitely impacts my writing (I’m a professional writer- technical writing like training manuals). I really believe that working out and exercising impacts your brain because sometimes I get good ideas for writing after a workout. It’s like it opens up a part of you that isn’t there when you’re at the desk or at your real job!
awww, that first line puts a big smile on my face, thanks so much!! i’m with u, the social connections i’ve made thru running have made for some of the best friendships. 🙂
i ALWAYS do my planks, ab work, lifting, stretching, foam rolling, etc while watching my favorite show at night and while my dinner is cooking. feels efficient and i feel good that im doing SOMETHING besides sitting there. also i laughed at how you said “we live in manic times” ….i am always thinking “wait. is it me thats manic? or everything around me?” 😉 have a great day friend!
I’m bad about doing the “little things,” so I have no tips and will probably use these…
I do always study so much better after running. And, fitting in a run puts structure and purpose into my day, making me put structure and purpose into the rest of my day, making me overall much more productive.
