I just got back from a run. I haven't run in a while, because I bought my house and the state turned into a pressure cooker over the last two months. It might sound dramatic to say this, but running really is an act of survival for me. The past couple of winters have dragged me down into a maelstrom the equivalent of an emotional black hole, and nothing...not even antidepressants...can pull me out. I usually surf through winter on a bottle of vodka a week because I'm not running.
But running saves me. The first run of the spring or fall...that saves me, and it's exhilarating. Nothing else gives me clarity or relieves my stress like running does. When I run, the things that have been seriously getting to me fall away, and I think about things in a more positive way. It gives me energy, and when I run I can't hate my existence. I don't know why....it just happens that way.
Thank god I have a treadmill to get me through this winter.

Freya is a cubical farm hand with a heart of gold. In past lives, she has been a tiger, a cowboy, and a cavalier. She continually works to improve her karma so that in her next reincarnation, she'll be something better, hopefully HedonismBot. Read about my subconscious mind here. |

Chutah is a network of specialized nerve cells that conduct impulses from or to areas of the universe to the brain and spinal cord, and within a large system of stars. She is composed of neurons and other specialized cells, like eternal night cells and neuroglia, that aid in the function of existential awareness. Chutah is interconnected in metaphysical arrangements and uses cosmic signals to transmit impulses between beings, she responds to a great variety of beauty and forms neural circuits that regulate her perception and behavior. She is found in many celestial objects but differs greatly in complexity between consciousnesses. |

Whatever works for you. It sounds very peaceful
Mmm... and with your treadmill you can drink vodka and run. Although I would recommend wearing a helmet, just in case.
