Endorphins and More Endorphins

I signed up to run the Big Sur Half Marathon and its less than a month away. Consequently, my runs have taken on a new sense of urgency. In truth, running is one of my main coping mechanisms right now. So, as I head out on a run and feel like stopping, I think to myself, "You know you need more endorphins, Ang." And I couldn't agree with myself more. So, I'm not saying I'll make it...but I am sweating enough to hope that I will.

PS. Map My Run has changed my life. After each run, I carefully plot out where I went to see my mileage and even elevation. Its awesome - and I don't have to sign in to do it!

Oh My Goodness! No kidding about Map My Run. I love it. Especially when it tells me that I went farther than I thought, which makes my time even better.

Good luck on the half marathon. That is my all time favorite race distance. Enough to make you feel like you went a long way, but you aren't wasted for days after like a full marathon.
