I woke up twenty minutes before the alarm excited about my morning run.

I immediately thought, “You have lost your freakin’ mind!”

But I didn’t just want to run this morning. I NEEDED to run.  I have a lot on my mind. I needed the cool wind in my face. I needed to chase the moon. I needed to feel the pain in my legs. I needed to feel my lungs burn. I needed the challenge of the steep hills in my neighborhood. I needed to think.

I needed to run 5.33 miles.

Thank God I did.  It was my prayer time. My time to contemplate.  To try to assess where I’ve been, where I am and where I’m going.  Life seems so unclear right now. I needed a solid goal. And I needed to achieve it.

Exercise is the antidepressant with amazingly positive side effects.

I feel great this morning.  And I can’t wait to go run again.
