Last week I started the Couch to 5k program to ease back into running again. I still have some soreness in my left foot (stupid plantar fasciitis) after I run, but stretching when I’m done is really helping. I’m also still really loving my Dr. Scholl’s inserts. I think I’m just going to have to accept that I will always have a little soreness in my foot, but it’s still so much better than it used to be. But that’s not my problem.
My problem is that I think I am addicted to running.
When I’m not running, I think about it. On the days I don’t run, I itch to run and can’t wait until it’s a running day. When I’m actually running, though, I don’t necessarily love it. But I do enjoy pushing myself. (I’m not sure if this makes me a masochist or not.) However, the high I have once I’m done? AWESOME. And I think that’s what I’m really after. Post. Running. High.
And I don’t want to stop. I want that next endorphin rush. I just want to run every day.
But I totally have this under control. Right? I mean, I could stop whenever I want. But why would I want to?
…
Is there a 12 step program for running addictions?

Um…yeah. I so don’t have that problem. The thought of running gives me hives.
I agree with Melissa. Hives.
I can stop too. Usually about after 100 yards or so.
I’M the one with the problem. ;-P
Yeah, really, why would you want to stop? If you don’t have crap knees (like me), keep running!
ew, running. i SO don’t get that.
