Running helps my brain make the good stuff so I can calm the hell down. I get anxious, or angry, or just plain stir-crazy if I sit around.

Some of my friends think I’m crazy to run at all, especially early in the morning… or late at night… or in the heat of summer… or in the rain… or in the middle of winter…įact of the matter is that I’m a bit crazy if I don’t run.
