Stress and running😶

[Buddy34]

This week has been very stressful , now I am the first person to say how running can help. My Wednesday run and today's run nearly never happened but I kept remembering myself how good it feels to run, and just for that time all I think about is the running.

Just posting to say life doesn't always go to plan but I'm so glad that I do run as it helped this week.

Now going to cheer myself up by putting my Christmas tree up . 🤗🤗🎄🎄🎄🎄

Hi Buddy34. I’m so sorry you’ve had a stressful week and I hope you’re ok.

Well done for getting out despite what was going on. I’m sure putting your Christmas tree up will spark some joy.

Keep smiling and keep running 🌲🤶🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Well done for getting out there Buddy. Running is great for stress relief, sometimes it’s just having the motivation to do it. But once I’m out it always feels better (even on runs I think haven’t gone as well) Hope you have fun putting up your Christmas tree 🎄 😁

know what you mean I have my dad and brother in law in hospital, loads of work demands, Christmas is here and also tax returns need to be got in, everyone wants a piece of me and could scream. So i brought forward my long run and did it last night. it was blowing a gale so treadmill time in a fairly empty gym at 8.30pm and I ran my first ever 8k. not great, little in the way of runners high but it got me away from everyone else and gave me a reset opportunity. Before I might have used other means of gaining distance like a bottle of wine so this was a much better solution.

Not my usual type of post but after typing it I just felt that bit better.

Congratulations on your 8k 😊😊

Sorry about you being stressed this week Buddy34, I hope you will be less stressed come Saturday morning and once you have put your 🤶 🎄 Christmas tree up and decorated with the lights on, I switched my Xmas lights on yesterday at 4pm then had some mince pies, Christmas Log and coffee.

Well done for getting out there for some stressbusting runs. Enjoy putting up your tree and fingers crossed for a calmer week ahead.

Glad you managed to run despite the stress. It would have been easy not to go.

Thanks for your link to the fleecy tights in another post. Mine arrived this morning and kept me warm despite the driving rain and howling wind in my lunchtime run. Take care 😊

[Buddy34 Graduate in reply to Cantstopmenow]

Glad I could help. 😊
