I saw this article on the Women's Running, then when I opened it up I see it was written my Skirt Sports founder Nicole DeBoom. I am also part of the REALwomenmove group, and never saw this post by Meadow. When you talk with other runners, you realize they run for different reasons. Most of the are dealing with something. Many of those runners you see are dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction; and are seeking a way to overcome whatever they are dealing with. I started running because I was dealing with something too, something I couldn't and wouldn't talk about. One morning I got a clear message that I need to run, and I wasn't a runner. But the message was clear, so I ran. I was given the tools to start running, so I ran. I am glad I listened. Running helps clear your mind, changes your goals, helps you focus on what is important, and helps you through the things you are dealing with. It also gets you moving, motivates you, introduces you to new friends, places and experiences. It also helps you get fit, and keeps your body healthy. Recoverying from and L4L5 spinal fusion hasn't been easy, running was taken away from me for a short time, so I walked. I kept moving. Thank you running for keeping me mentally and physically healthy, because of running my recovery was easier then most. Next time you see a runner, just know they run for a reason, and give them a smile. #runbecauseyoulovetoo #LiveToRunRuntoLive #wearyourdonkeyheart #skirtsports #skirtsportsambassador #REALwomenmove #L4L5fusion #L4L5fusionrecovery #MovingForwardAfter50 #GoalsDontQuit
