Running has pretty much changed my life completely - very good stuff. For all of the snake oil out there promising ridiculous benefits, consistently running anything more than about an hour a week is as close to the real McCoy as I have ever experienced.

The changes I’ve seen in 3 months are frankly staggering. I quit smoking, cut like 95% of my alcohol consumptions, started eating healthier, etc. and it was really easy for me to do all at the same time.

I had tried tackling each of these problems independently before and typically failed. Withdrawals, cravings, etc. are too much. But man I really fucking love running now and smoking, binge drinking and junk food just look so gross to me now that I know they’re gonna ruin my runs.

The brain is weird. I’m insanely grateful.
