Decompression Run

Yah, life isn't ideal for me right now. There is a lot of stress in my life and I use to deal with it with Mary but I'm over it now. When I was younger I lived with Christians and I learned to deal with stress by running because I didn't have an outlet that was Christian acceptable. I don't know why but I can just go run 10 miles if I want even if I've been a lazy bum. So tonight I took off on a run down a farm road(that leads to the field I harvest mushrooms) and was just thinking about how stress relieving it is for me. When I'm running, it's all I can think about. My breathing and my form and it's so peaceful The point is, it was very similar to a psilocybin trip as far as revelations and peacefulness. In the dark I listened to the crickets and heard the night animals rustling in the shrubbery, it was just great. It sucks having to come back to reality. Every time I stop running and start up again I'm like damn, why did I stop? If you are a runner, I know you can relate and others who enjoy doing something, stop, and then start up again can also share the feeling. Can anyone relate? Has anyone else felt at peace and had revelations while or after running? I'd really like to get other people's opinions or input in regards to running and its benefits. Most importantly though, if you are going through a hard time, think/know you are depressed, go run. Are you a little heavier and don't feel comfortable running, stretch or walk a long distance. Work up a sweat. I would appreciate others feedback and responses if it is constructive. I hope you all are having a good night or day, whatever time of day this is read. Thanks.

Running is great. For a long time it was my go to activity to relieve stress. It still is important for me to continue.

I really wish people could have the motivation to run and understand its benefits. I realize it is not for everyone for various reasons. The "runners high" is real and after I utilized the gift of mushrooms from Mother Nature, I realized how similar the feelings resulting from consumption and natural production of both activities yield. I feel so connected. I felt like I understood more of life's questions and was very accepting of new ideas. I wish I could utilize them simultaneously. Thank you for your feedback as well.

If anyone lives in the Orlando/Winter Park area and needs someone to run with, you know how to contact me. It is a lot easier to start up when you have someone else with you and more enjoyable with conversation.
