Hip Redux
Probably not a surprise for anyone, but I thought this was interesting:

That keeps me off psych meds but tough when I have a bad injury
I think that as human beings, we were designed to be both active mentally and physically. If you take an individual and lock him up in a room without any human contact for 5 years, just food and water, it will be hard for that person to not come out of the room 5 years later, without any kind of mental distress. The same goes for physical stimulation. If a person becomes sedentary to an excess, depression will set in. These inactive people may not realize it, but their behavior will become destructive more often than not. Brain and body stimulation are as important to us as water and air. The more we stay stimulated, the happier we are.

Running has helped me survive menopause without killing someone.
Running has helped me survive menopause without killing someone (so far).
Running has made Beth repeat herself. Or is it menopause?
Maybe she was reconsidering her position on killing someone.
I think we should all watch our back when Beth is around.
Nah the 2nd part was age. I'm old too remember what I did 5 seconds ago. Then again
that's a menopause symptom too.
But you never know. It's the innocent looking ones you always have to look out for.
Dad on the run.
Running pulled me out of a very serious slump that I found myself in after a little over a year of being unemployed and it continues to help me mentally.

Good thing I got out of her area alive. I'm rethinking contacting her now next time I head there.

I'm sorry, but anyone who can run a 4:12 marathon on no real training is definitely NOT old. Maybe just crazy...
I think we're about the same age and I 2nd that statement!!! Oh wait! Beth already did!
The mental/intellectual piece is important too. Good point.
The c word is repulsive
My husband turned round to me a few weeks ago and said that he thought that without running I'd be dead. Which really actually shocked me but he might be right, it certainly has brought me through the bad times.
