Jogging Clears The Mind
2008
Especially when I get stressed out, I crave going for a jog.
I can see the trees go by, smell the lilacs as I jog past, and get some fresh air. It’s just you and the road with your thoughts…
If you don’t feel like thinking, it’s easy to be distracted by everything going on around you.
When you feel frustrated and like you can’t get anywhere in your thoughts, going for a jog gives you a feeling of accomplishment…
My biggest piece of advice:
Make sure you’re wearing good shoes for jogging…Otherwise, you can cause yourself a lot of grief with your joints, especially your knees (in my case).
I thought I had some great shoes that I was wearing for the past few weeks, but my knee started hurting more and more as the days go on.
I switched my shoes out today to a different brand, my older ones, and I was able to jog for about 40 min today! Yeahhh! My limiting factor was my knee, not me being tired…
Well, just wanted to share my advice!

P.S. These are the shoes that I prefer to wear when jogging, except mine are purple…They really cushion my heels, as I’ve had heel problems in the past, and they alleviate the pain in my knees…Check ’em out for yourself:

You should totally try MBTs. They are the best shoes I have ever owned.

My good stumbling buddy, arabbitwhishperer, says that when they get stressed, they like to:
“Bike ride. Log on to the net.”
I’m not crazy about bike riding, but I do it…LOL…Most of the time, I jog, but if it’s raining, then the internet usually wins over, while I bake…LOL…

Stumble friend, zodiii, says:
“I like meditating, I should do more of it, and gardening, sitting listening to the birds in my garden :o” to destress…
I enjoy gardening too, except I haven’t really gotten into it this year yet…uncharacteristic of me…LOL…and yes, there’s nothing like nature to destress…

“The best 4 me was running, but I haven’t been able 2 do that due 2 a serious car accident. I so miss it!”
Yes…it really does a great deal of destressing you! You get to think, and it’s just you and the pavement…

“I walk Rebel [his 210 lb Bull Mastiff] over the hill to my Biker friends house and we have the greatest 15 mile paved bicycle trail in the world. PS: I live in the desert not in town. I am a TRUE BLUE HILLBILLY. HA ha”
That’s great destressing…For sure! I’m sure it really clears your head too!
