I had always heard about a Runner's High - but I never believed it. Had you even told me I would be running when I had my gastric bypass surgery I would have said "Why? Is someone chasing me? With a gun? Cause I don't run." But I have discovered a lot about running in the past year. One being that - it is great for my mood. I recently found this article and had to pass it along:

Now that I have begun walking again... and doing that with the kids... I have found it has helped me in ways I never realized before. I, too, find it helps with stress and gives me more energy. Great article. :)
