Run 1
I run when I am frustrated. I also run when I am sad, depressed, lonely, self pitying, stressed or nervous. And it always helps, if not in the long run. haha.
If it did help in the long run then it wouldn't be any good to us. If one run cured the ail after one run then we would never reap the benifits of running regularly. Which is part of the whole point and why it works.
It works because it takes time to reach the state of calm while running. That state when you start to think that you may just keep on running and never return home. It just feels so right.
It works because we are alive in body and mind and there is a driect connection between these so often separated parts of our beings. Which is of course a huge mistake in itself.
I use my body and in doing so I am a part of my surroundings. When I am aware of my surroundings I feel in control, I make connections, time and space are somehow closer to me and to each other. Being aware of my body in time and space gives me confidence to take on that space and live in that time. Every step and every moment. I am.
