running

Pant. Sigh. Ugh. Argh. Pant. Pant. Phew. It’s been a few months to say the least since I’ve gone out for a good run.

Things have been a little happier in my house lately. After we got home from our Jamaica trip, all four of us were in a wish-we-were-still-in-Jamaica funk. But after that passed and reality set in, the hubby and I set to work. On our running.

So as I’ve written here before, I’ve got the Sporting Life 10K race coming up in May—a 10K race that I love to do. I get to run through a big chunk of my city Toronto when I do it, it’s generally a sunny Sunday morning and best of all, it’s all downhill.

In the face of Monday's tragic events, runners the world over are hitting the streets to show their support -- one kilometre at a time.

Happiness writer Astrid was training for a 10K when an injury put her on the sidelines. Unable to get her runner's high, she shares what she did to replace it.
