Comments on: When exercise becomes recreation http://mothergoosemouse.com/2007/09/14/when-exercise-becomes-recreation/ A first-grader destined for a career as a lawyer, a pre-schooler whose screams can shatter glass, a bouncing baby boy who evaded an IUD, a man who can drink his weight in Natty Light, and a woman who has long since given up caring about the condition of her kitchen floor.

Not a natural athlete, never thought of myself as athletic. But I started running in January and I'm addicted. I finally *get* why people do it, whereas I used to think they were crazy. It is recreation to me, it is also "me time." It empowers me because I'm doing something I *never* thought I could do and I'm starting to see myself as athletic (even if I'm slow!), which I *never* did. I can make goals (small or big) and with some work, actually accomplish them. Now when I go on vacation or work trips, I wonder "when I can go for a run?" It's very weird for me to be that person - still kind of shocking to myself - but it feels good. I relate very much to this! Not a natural athlete, never thought of myself as athletic.

It helps me in so many ways it is hard to even imagine life without it. It has been a part of my life for so long that I fear I would not recognize myself if I did not run. I attribute a lot of this to living by myself in a small Colorado mountain town with few friends and grew to love hiking and biking by myself, then trail running and other outdoors activities.
