Running was originally helping with stress
But at some point running became a major contributor to stress. Instead of something fun to do, it got filled with pressure, mostly pressure to compete with myself. I started training really hard and fast, and subsequently started injuring myself while training.
Now I haven’t run a race since last fall, and I’ve decided I don’t have to run unless I want to. This means I’ve been going one or two times a week for the past couple months.
I think I’m about to fill out my marathon registration, and sign up for a race or two. The new rule is I can’t run hard, and I don’t care how fast I go.
