Over the years, when health and weight allowed, I've went running whenever I needed to release frustration. The problem is that I get extraordinarily tired by this because I actually /run/. More appropriately, I sprint - fast as I can go over short distances. I sprint so hard that my vision blurs or cuts out, tears
