Emotional Runner

Stress seems to play such a big role in my running. Some people say that they run to relieve stress. I can't seem to run when I feel it. Evenings in our home get stressful, the day is over before I am ready, there are tons of things still to get done, the house still needs picking up, my children need attention, my husband needs attention.... before I know it, it's 11:00 and I know I can't get up at 4:45am to run and function at the level I need to that day! Don't get me wrong, I love life and all of it's busy-ness. I just want to stop being such an emotional runner. People say, "just do it", "don't make excuses"... of course, I agree with that! But I use that motto for my whole life. I "just do it" all day, everyday. I feel like I cram 3 days of life into every 24 hours.
Well, regardless of this small "emotional" struggle. I love running and am running far more than I ever have in my life. That is worth something! Now I want to break into a new level of running. Maybe one that is a little more automatic. I think the key may be forcing my household to wind down earlier. |
