Showerthought: My early runs used to be for speed, now they're just for my sanity.

Honestly, lacing up before sunrise has turned into my own kind of therapy.

But that's not right. It's not "just" for your sanity, like it's less important. That mental clarity is the whole point now, a real goal. It's just as valid as chasing a fast mile time, maybe more. The quiet time to sort your head out is the actual workout now.

Totally agree, @pat540. I've been running more for that headspace than any clock time lately. It's crazy how much it helps sort things out.

Totally get what @pat540 means. The mental win became the whole point for me too. It's like the run flipped from training your body to training your brain lol.
