To be healthy again

I ran pretty regularly for about 30 minutes per day at least 3-5 days a week from ages 17 – 22ish. However, I began having panic attacks after 9/11 & I stopped feeling confident enough to go for a run alone, especially if I had to deal with cat calls.

I’m ready to face my fears & get out running again. I think the exercise will boost my ability to fight the panic naturally. I’m now married & have put on about 20 pounds, but not so much that I can’t get out for a run.

It may take a while to get back into the swing of it, but I want to see myself as “athletic” again. Also, I want to feel confident & healthy, even if I never weigh 130 pounds again (my weight as a 17 year old runner).
