W6 R2 Stress Control

After a particularly stressful day in court yesterday with my ex husband, I was looking forward to getting out and running, to hopefully relieve some of my feelings. I was not disappointed. I had heard that a 'good run' alleviates the stress and it certainly did that. I came back from my run feeling so much better emotionally, and of course pleased with myself that I had completed r2.

Sorry you have that stress but so glad the running helped. It always leaves me feeling much better able to cope with situations.
