self therapy

Why did I wait so long to run? I ask myself this as I find renewed interest in school, and life in general following my run tonight. In a fit of rage I took off out the door tonight to let loose some steam in the only real way I can without spending money getting drunk or getting into fights, both of which are not good for you in the long run. I ran through a fairly used trail here in town that is right around 3.25 to 3.5 miles. I by no means set a land speed record or even did a PR. If anything it was pitiful and poor performance for a marine.  However, I have ambition to continue running as it does seem to provide the only means to calm and clear my head so that I may focus on tasks at hand, like school work. The hardest part will be getting out of bed to accomplish this desire. I do think it will get easier later down the road after I have worked up my energy level again. I have dreams of snatching the dog this morning and dashing around the block, just so we both get some exercise. I guess if I'm going to do this I better go to sleep though since it is 1:16 in the morning for me. BTYL
