I call working out in
I call working out in general my anti-depressant/sleeping pill. Especially when life tries to get in the way, since it reminds me I really do need to do it regardless of how much time I have. I think my friends probably make fun of me for how much I work out (and I know my husband and his friends do since they are kind enough to say it to me lol) but some people prefer to pop a pill once a day, I prefer a good hard sweat session. I figure the side effects of my fix are far better.
Running to feel better doesn't make you a prima dona, it just means you are medicating with endorphins instead of alcohol, pot, or whatever your previous poison of choice was. Endorphins win the healthy award in the category.
