That’s so awesome! Running and exercising generally are the best “drugs” for sobriety imho.

I didn’t run today, felt too tired, so I took a long nap. Day 4 and still in dark cave.

Walking for your dog sounds really good. I hope you’ll get to run soon and your injury is gone. Stay strong!

Sorry to hear about your PTSD. That must be hard. And I feel the same, shame is real. I’ve been doing so stupid things over these years and like you well put it:

Amen to that, brother. And yes, running and walking always helps. All the best!

Very slow paced run this morning. Give me winter running over summer running any day!

This felt good. The pace didn’t feel super strenuous even though it faster than what the garmin plan wanted

Congrats on getting back on running, my friend @Hotic. Running and walking are the best recovery activities for me.

I have been cycling a lot, but it is nevertheless different, especially different for knees and hips

Trail work today to get ready for next month. This was hard but mostly just cause yesterday was leg day. I’m going to swap easy run tuesday and long run thursday so I do my long run before leg day

Garmin keeps putting easy pace runs on the plan and I was tired of it so I did a harder effort run today. I’m hoping the add in some interval work or something soon. I’m only in week 2 so maybe that’s why

I signed up for a 5k this morning. I was surprised to find out it was crosscountry aka in the grass and up and down hills and i beat my 5k road race time in april!!! Official results arent out yet but about 27min.

My shoes and feet are soaked from the wet grass. The soles of my shoes bunched up during the run so that was uncomfortable but feeling upbeat and proud of myself. Fuck addiction and yay to cjp 4.0
