A close friend of mine just had a heart attack. He was walking up the stairs when he felt the chest pain, and luckily he got to the ER before he coded and they revived him. He was one of those people who exercised in spurts, more off than on, and it finally caught up with him.

I've never lacked motivation to exercise, but way too many people do. In our busy lives, it is the last thing we want to do, especially after a tough day of work or when we have endless chores around the house. So here's the contest.

I have been a runner for 5 years. I started when I lost my brother because of bone cancer, I did not know how to deal with the pain, I needed to drain everything I felt in some way, because I felt that I was suffocating. I found in this activity a great relief for my soul, surrounded me with new friendships, it was better than any therapist. After I enrolled in the first race I took a love to always improve my times. From then until today, it is what keeps me in emotional balance. 4 months ago I complement yoga that is of integral benefit for the body, mind and spirit. What makes me get up every day to train? All the benefits I receive physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Thank you. A lot of success for everyone.

@genomil thank you for sharing and what an inspiration for all of us. I too find running critical to maintaining emotional and mentally balanced.
