I have to admit it's so much easier to run with a broken heart. It's a sense of healing as well. When i feel like I just can't run anymore but 'need' to, I say prayers in my head. Being the good Catholic girl I am, Hail Mary & the Lord's Prayer work perfectly to get me past the 'I can't do it anymore' mark. Rachel – You just took the words right out of my mouth!!

Instead, I eat. Totally opposite, certainly more destructive. Don't apologize for dealing with hurt in a productive way. I NEED to run. Instead, I eat. Totally opposite, certainly more destructive.

I can relate, I had problems with depression, and the gym was my escape. But in general, I see working out as acceptable because you're dealing with (or managing, if not dealing with) your emotions in a way that doesn't hurt yourself (like binge drinking or donuts). Writing is similar. Either way, I hope things look up! And great post! That’s so sad! I can relate, I had problems with depression, and the gym was my escape.

I love your honestity in this- and it totally hits my heart deeply- I started running this summer just a few days after my fiance broke off the engagement (just six weeks before the wedding, no less) and I've never looked back. The run has consumed me. I couldn't ever really figure out why everyone kept telling me I was being so strong- but you are right- it's the "good choice" to burry the pain with the legs burning. SO TRUE. And I've had my top three runs immediately after feeling my heart so broken, when I thought I was at a place of no survival- I found myself on the trail. And I stil am defining myself out there. Thanks for sharing this- it is beautiful!! :) Rachel- this is so good and so true! I love your honestity in this- and it totally hits my heart deeply-
