When I run I feel like nothing can get me, like I’m in a place where all my problems are on hold and I have time to process and plan, to make sense of everything, to run through all my options and work out the one that makes sense.
Sometimes I feel like I could just keep running and escape everything, its the only thing that makes sense to me. It’s time I need to understand and work through everything around me.
People always say to me “If you’re so busy you could not go for a run.” They don’t understand I could not do that. I need to run to keep myself together, to ground me, to help me control my breathing and my thoughts. It is my time to myself, just because it is physical exercise to me it is the thing the turns the volume down on the rest if the world.
Running is my quiet time.
