There are many things people do to keep themselves off of drugs and bad influences of the world. I don't necessarily do any drugs, but there is one thing that actually helps me keep sane. This is the wonderful sport of running, any type of running, really. I like to spend a lot of my free time just running to places or a destination for a workout. Running is just an amazing hobby i learned about two years ago or so.
This sport or whatever you would like to call it helps me keep sane. It is such an amazing stress reliever. I like different types of running such as speed, distance, or both at the same time. My all time favorite is distance. I love to just go out at a nice comfortable sort of fast pace and keep running for miles. I especially love doing half marathons because they are usually quick and easy. Running more than 13 miles is a really big mental challenge for me, which i also LOVE to do!
I started running back in 2013 in the 9th grade during PE. I ran because I thought I was fat. Eventually, it became a stress reliever and I would run to get away from all of my problems that i had. It was sort of like my drug... but in a good, productive way. As of now, it irritates me a little that I can't run as much because I am injured. Yup, it sucks major butt. I am in Track & Field and Cross Country, but I am only training for mileage right now because of the upcoming LA Marathon! I want to conquer it and take a few weeks off after that and make a full recovery.
