"Address the stress"

Beaming sun, cold, wind chill, snow, ice but who cares? I ran in my new running shoes (Brooks Defyance) outside (I've been held hostage to the DREADMILL...except when I was running in FLA). The jury is still out if I like these sneaks. I've become such a Nike junkie. I absolutely LOVE my Nike Free's, but since I am dealing with lower back ache, it was suggested that I wear a more supportive sneaker. I am grateful that even with the discomfort, I can still run.
Running outside was glorious today, and so what if I have wind burn on my face? It has been a stressful week, and running is how I "address the stress" (I'll save my glass of wine or martini for tomorrow night).
