How to run from your troubles

cartoon of a guy running. The captions says, "i don't run so I can run away from my troubles."

 

Whenever you’re going through some troubling times, and who doesn’t, it helps to get some exercise.

This morning, it was very warm. the humidity made things steamy at six in the morning. But a good run helped me clear my head and feel better than I had in several days.

If you’re physically able to do it, I’d encourage you to take a walk or a run. When you get your body moving, it helps get the brain unstuck as well.

Racing Gear

Cartoon of  two racers. One of them is wearing motor racing gear. The other says, “I get the feeling one of us is wearing the wrong racing gear.”

I’ve ran twice in the Indianapolis 500 Mini-Marathon. One of the highlights is you get to run around the Indianapolis Speedway. It’s amazing to know you’re running on the same track where race cars go over 200 miles per hour. So I’ve thought of this idea more than once as I’ve been jogging around the 2 1/2 mile oval.

I drew this for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “racing.”

Man resolves to get in shape while the cat resolves to catch some z’s. I hate it when my pets appear superior to me. I drew this in Adobe Illustrator.

Running in shorts in November

Some of you southern guys may not see the big deal in this, but I was excited this morning. I ran in a t-shirt and shorts and it’s late November! There was some puddles and mist, but I’ll take that. This kind of thing doesn’t happen in Indiana-at least not without some kind of permit.

The weather is changing today and tomorrow. They’re talking temps in the thirties, snow and ice. But for this morning, I could run and feel great. God is good.
