After years of running half and full marathons I took a break from running last year. I recently signed up for a local 5K to get back into running. I’ve realized how mentally, physically and emotionally beneficial it was for me in the past when I was dealing with hardships in my life, and now with almost a year of sobriety, this upcoming 5K will be the catalyst to restart a healthy habit I love! Any other runners out there? How has running helped you?

Absolutely! 
26.2 x 3, 13.1 × 7. I started when I got sober about 5 years ago.

Runner here! Love to run and hit the races! Running has helped me regulate the highs and lows. It also helped regulate the sobriety process

running and recovery have more in common than people think, both are just one foot in front of the other until it becomes who you are
