Good job, newlifeyeah! Your thread inspired me to go for a jog after reading it...and it was like being hit with a sudden epiphany of "why can't I do this more often?". I used to run a lot, but my depression killed all my motivation and prevented me from exercising much. And for the first few minutes of the jog, I was hating it and wanting to go back to bed. But then I kept going...and going...and going...and after a while, I started feeling better. The sun on my skin felt great, the burn in my legs felt great, and I didn't have to worry about anything that was happening in my life. It was just me and a road. It was hard to actually get out of bed and do it, but once I was outside and away from the house...I felt good. I almost felt like my old self again.
