Open road empty mind

I ran 7.68km today. I put on loud music and ran, didn’t plan on going anywhere in particular just went. I had an awful few days and temptations to do silly things were there so I don’t wanted to do something beneficial rather than destructive. So off I went. I’m sweaty and hot and feel gross but I did it!

Hi mn15

I think you made a very positive decision and a great step forward managing your symptoms. Any form of exercise helps rid anxiety, stress and tension, so well down you! That's some achievement.

It was hard, I wanted to turn back but then the thought of both just running not thinking and the calories burned kept me going! Small steps I just need to keep them in the right direction! I’ll relapse I know. So for today a win.
