Running is alone time that lets my brain unspool the tangles that build up over days— work-related grief, everyday family- life frustration, and the occasional bit of deeper-seeded crap that gets labeled depression and the like. I run, pound it out on the pavement, channel that energy into my legs, and when I'm done with my run, I'm done with it. I'm a happier and healthier person now. [Rob Haneisen]
