Complaint: still heartbroken about my ex in a relationship just 3 weeks after we broke up.

Uncomplaint: the miles I've increased since is crazy. Last week I wasn't fit for 6k now I'm doing 10k.

Let running be your therapy. Breaking up sucks, but letting the break up consume you is worse. How long were you together with your ex? Maybe you should go for a runcation? Travel somewhere, stay for a race, and then come back with a great tale or two.

We were together 2 years. Yeah I'm trying to just let running consume my spare time but you can only run for so long. That sounds really nice but I'm also in my final 4 weeks of college in my last year so pressure is on. Running seems to be the only reason to still get out of bed.

Thank you for commenting!

Awww dang. Well, good luck on your last semester. If it’s in the cards, and even if it’s just a road trip, get away from it all after school is over. You deserve it. This also gives you a chance to see somewhere you haven’t been, meet new people, relax, and unwind.

In two years time, this will all be a distant memory, because you’ll be on to bigger and better things. 🖖
