When all else fails, run.

I love running. It relieves my stress, reduces my anxiety, and pushes the limits. Just today, I competed in the VA 10 Miler in Lynchburg, VA. It was fabulous in the way that only running hills up and down can be. But it was. You don't understand until you do it.

There is no feeling that compares to pushing yourself to the finish line and accomplishing the feat. The best part after the race is not the being done part, it's when your body aches and is sore all over because you just did something not a lot of people can do. The physical and mental exhaustion are just a glimpse into the victory. It's more than a competition, or contest. It's about the wanting to run and the will to succeed. There is nothing better than pushing your body to limits you never knew you had.
