Within the last month I've seriously got involved in running. I first started to run for weight-loss, but now run bc I love it!!! Any runners wanna be friends and help me on my journey to the last 60ish pounds I will lose?

    Okay, I admit it. I looked up the word catharsis. :)

    I wouldn't go as far as saying that but I will say it is very meditative. It sometimes allows me to think things through, especially when I run at lunch time and I have issues in the office (I'm a computer geek so I always have issues ;) ).

    Other times it is good to crank up the tunes and just run.

    However I think my best experiences are my weekend runs when I am with a group.

    Lol I would have to agree with you on cranking up the tunes and just running. What it does mentally for me is amazing.
