Running is Not Just Exercise

Since my husband and I officially split, I have been neglecting certain aspects of my life, like this blog and my running.  I have been focusing on helping my children with the transition.  Specifically, my oldest, who seems to be struggling the most with the changes.  However, my time away from running has made me see how important it is to my life.  Running is not just exercise.  It has changed my life.  The times that are most challenging are the times when I need to run the most.  Originally, I had planned on focusing on strength training during the winter months and getting back into running in the spring.  Now I have decided to make running a priority all year long.  I am a better person when I run.  I think that only other runners understand that.
