Today I went for a run. Last time I went for a run I went 2 miles. My plan today was to just go 1, but instead I went 2 because I was feeling pretty good. Plus last time I had biked 10 miles beforehand and that was probably the reason why I couldn't walk the next day right? Wrong. It has been less than 2 hours since the completion of my 2 mile run, and my legs shake when I go down the stairs.

I definitely struggle with being unhappy. I think two major things that contribute to that are a lack of sleep and a lack of exercise. After getting no sleep for the last two nights I definitely had to struggle to be happy today. After exercising tonight I can definitely tell that it's now much easier for me to be happy. Someone walked by me about a week ago and asked how I was. I did some babbling about needing more sleep and self care and exercise and he looked at me and in a quick and matter of fact way summed up what I needed to be happy: "if you don't get sleep your brain doesn't function right and it's harder to be happy which means you need more self care during your day than normal just to function and get by. When I stop exercising I get super miserable. That's important too. If you keep up with those two things it'll help and when you add being overwhelmed by school work and still needing more self care because you don't have the other things, it's just a disaster. Well bye!" Well. Who needs a counselor when they've got the thirty second play by play of their life and the answers to its questions? All to say, exercise matters. A lot.
