Pardon The Mess

There are many benefits to going out for a run. One of them is clearing your mind. This is why you hear many people call running their own personal therapy. I have to agree with this whole heartily. When you are outside and its just you and the open road, you have plenty of time to think. This has helped me put things into perspective and look at things from a different point of view. All the stresses of the day melt away and all the jumbled thoughts get pieced together. When things become clear, creativity and inspiration flow. I feel like a whole new person after a run and I love the mood it puts me in. Before I picked up on running, I did not know how to handle all these thoughts in my mind and stress I was feeling. It was a mess up there and nothing I did helped to clean it up. But once I started pounding the pavement, that all changed. I was a better man all around. I could not help but be happy and it was contagious. I feel as though I am also a better husband as well. As a matter of fact, running is the reason why I started this blog. I can sit here and put my thoughts into words because my mind is clear and not cluttered. And you do not have to be the type of person who runs everyday either to get these benefits. If you get out 4 times a week for at least 30 minutes a day, you will feel a difference! It can be outside, on the treadmill, or even on the elliptical. As a matter of fact, I started on the elliptical before I went running outside on the pavement. It is definitely freeing and will make positive changes to you mentally. Life can make your mind a mess, but running will clear it up!
