When Your Brain Won't Let You Breathe
Three minutes. That's all it took to begin changing everything. Three minutes of running in a dark alleyway, gasping, stumbling, stopping-more than most people would consider "real" running. Yet those three minutes represented something far more significant than exercise: they were the first step in reclaiming a life stolen by anxiety. When your marriage collapses and you find yourself on the sitting room floor watching your husband walk away, you don't typically think, "I should take up running." But sometimes our most desperate moments push us toward the most unlikely solutions. This is the story of how one woman accidentally discovered that the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other could quiet a mind that had been screaming for decades.
