Run It Out

Since I was about 11, I have been running. No doubt I started because I had been watching my dad run, and soon after that my sister, since I was even younger. It was in my programming to start running sooner or later.

When I was younger, I had, to put it lightly, a bad temper. On top of that, I was taking pills for epilepsy that made me tired and cranky. To put it lightly, I was no walk in the park. However, the one time that none of that mattered is when I strapped on my sneakers and set out for a run. For me, that feeling of complete emotional standby while running still stands. It's my way of dealing. It's my way of getting an adrenaline shot that can neutralize all the bad, even if just for a few miles. 

This March, I'll be running my third half marathon, this time in Jerusalem. I decided that this time, I would run with a higher purpose: to help raise awareness for Twist Out Cancer. I feel really connected to the message Twist Out Cancer stands for, which is that no matter how bad things feel, there is a way to express and gain support and understand. It's like a shot of adrenaline on a bad day. It's the run that neutralizes the emotional overload that we all bare. 

I challenge everyone to find an outlet for  the bad, to find the adrenaline to keep you going when days go sour. 

Run it out, twist in out, chase out the negativity and reel in the positivity, we'll all be better for it.
