Every morning as the sun comes up in Sydney, there are thousands of people running. Their pace and intentions vary. For some it is purely for athletic or aesthetic purposes. For others, such as myself, they are running to live.

Growing up, when I had a problem, whether it was personal, public or more often than not academic, I would run. Always alone. When I left the house panicked and upset, I would increase the pace to the point where my mind’s only focus could be getting oxygen into screaming lungs. The orange street lamps of Belfast whisked past me as I ran Adidas Eqt Support Adv Womens high into the city’s Nike Air Max 97 Femme hills. My only goal was to return home calm.

Anxiety has been an unwanted companion in my life for as long as I can remember. It resides on my shoulders late at night, causing them to involuntarily tense into a knotted fist. It will then slowly and stealthily crawl into my brain, causing a multitude of unhelpful thoughts to whir through my mind late into the night, offering no respite.My running shoes have offered a refuge to this unwanted black dog that sits by my side. I wake up early in the morning sometimes with a cold film of sweat on my brow, brush it off and lace up my shoes. I put on my shoes in the morning with the same monotony of routine as one would brush their teeth. In the same way that applying toothpaste to my teeth protects them, my running routine helps a mind that rarely slows down.

My mother was a talented middle Nike Air Max 2017 Dames distance runner who Nike Roshe Run Mujer set a school record for the 800m that stood for years. Regrettably, I never inherited that talent for speed. I don’t run to beat a clock or win a medal; I run simply to break my own thought processes. I run without a watch; my achievement is simply being out and moving.

Running is mechanical and at times highly mundane. Its simplicity comes from the fact that you need very little to do it. Lace up your shoes, find a clear piece of ground and off you go. Most of us are blessed with bodies that can move and this is the greatest gift that we have been furnished with. Nothing can extol this gift greater than running to the point of exhaustion, our bodies are built to move.

When I start to run, my mind is in the midst of its normal convulsions. It is concerned with a million unexplained possibilities, most of them Nike Air Vapormax Mujer illogical, and all of them Adidas ZX Flux Mujer designed to cause a stabbing and pounding anxiety. With each step I take, my mind is forced to slow down to almost silence. It is sending one simple message, keep sending oxygen to my lungs. If I can’t define my mind, I can at least define myself physically.
