[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 532629, member: 3388"] SuZir, Wow!! I'm so impressed that you run 10 miles every day!! I agree that running is an excellent way to stay in shape, a great way to relieve stress, just feel good. Although I've never been as fit as you are, running used to be my very favorite thing to do too. I used to only run half of what you run, just 5 miles/day. However, running still worked it's magic for me. Then stuff happened, I injured myself, achilles tendonitis, right foot. It took months before I was able to run again. About a year (?) I've lost track of time, lol...) after that, I fractured my right ankle. Once I recovered, I began jogging again, slowly building up to running again. Then last summer we had to move out of state. We no longer had health insurance and because of the athritis, I had problems with my right foot. I wanted to run, but was afraid that if I injured myself, it could cost us a fortune in out of pocket medical bills. We moved out of that apartment three months later and into another one that had an exercise room. I started walking, then slowly jogging on the treadmill. That is, until we had to move again... Within the past year, I have lived in three states and have moved four times. I was exhausted, missed "home," stressed to the max... (Too much "garbage" happening all at once.)
