“When I left college and ‘entered the real world,’ I moved to a new city and felt depressed. I joined a 10K training team through my Y and got my first runner’s high when crossing that finish line. I never thought two years later I’d be finishing my first marathon. Running has taught me that there’s no limit to what you can do…and the healing powers are a definite bonus! I wish everyone could love running!”—abbymason1
“A best friend of mine died when I was in college. I didn’t know how to process or talk about my feelings. It was raining. I put my running shoes on and ran seven miles in the pouring rain listening to music and crying. It was the perfect way to grieve and process. I started running six days a week since then. Since that day running has been such a comfort in the happiest of times and in deep sorrow. A great therapy for me!!”—elteran23
“When I was training for my first half marathon after breast cancer treatments, and I realized how many amazing friends I was making as training partners, race buddies, and random people who wave back on runs. I got hooked and have run over 50 half marathons, five full marathons and I’ve lost count of all the amazing people I’ve met through running.”—rosiosio
“I had just moved to San Francisco in 2005. I knew no one and was at a challenging point in life. I decided to go explore the city on foot one day and ended up running 13 miles around the peninsula without realizing it until after the fact. From that day forward, I’ve defined myself as a runner. I still remember so many of the special moments of clarity and peace I gained from that run.”—chelsryen
“When pounding the pavement gave me the headspace and mental fitness to get through my fertility issues and take on the process of IVF.”—beaniel80
“I fell in love with running in 2014, the year my son was born with Down syndrome. I needed an outlet to get the stress of our new normal life out and signed up for a half marathon out of desperation and just grit. Been my natural stress reliever ever since.”—coug3111
“Very cool question. Went for an evening run. The first in years. I was a few months into a newfound sober lifestyle and about 26 years old, but needed a change from sitting in my apartment on a typical Saturday night. I set out at around 10 p.m. when most folks were hitting the town. I ran about four miles. As far as I could at that point with a route around Lakeshore Drive in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Winded and coughing up air by the end of it! Sold. Hooked for first time since high school XC, but only this time was fundamentally different: It was for me. Felt totally alive and haven’t stopped since.”—atreyurunning
