We all have a reason to run. Some run for weight loss, heart health, racing, challenging ourselves, coping with something difficult, or many other reasons. Sometimes we have multiple reasons combined into one run. This week, most of my miles were for coping, and as a therapist, I figured I’d share how I use running to cope.

I wanted to do the impossible. I wanted to do something I should not be able to do with AS. I decided to stop researching what the limit was with AS for others and go find out what it was for me.
