Amazing what some good cardio and angry, hate filled music can do to improve one’s mood.

The past couple days I’ve been dealing with some minor drama. Each day a new twist or turn comes out and it just gets worse. Most of it barely concerns me with the exception of one part, but I have no control of the situation and can merely sit back and watch it unfold, which is a huge problem for a control freak like me.

On top of this is the major drama in my life, which by now everyone should know. For those who don’t, I’ve asked Jeremy for a divorce. That’s all for another post that will come soon.

But by this morning I’d just had it with everything and needed some moments to myself. So during lunch, I grabbed my ipod and PT clothes and went to the gym. Hopping on the crossclimber (my new favorite piece of cardio equipment), I pressed play on my ipod and just started running. It was great. And somehow the shuffle function knows me well becuase the first song right off the bat was the Marilyn Manson song that got me through many a bad mood over the last 8 years.

I can’t say I’m in a great mood, because one 30 minute run just isn’t enough at this point, but I’m definitely less stressed out. And that’s enough for me.
