Berks County Medical Society Medical Record Summer 2021 - 23

I go to the hospital each day and concentrate on making
progress toward a solution-based outcome. Just helping, makes me
feel less stress. But when I come home after a day at the hospital,
or many times when I wake up and before going into the hospital, I
need to activate my emotion-based coping mechanism. Therefore,
I go for a run.
I am not unique in that many people in my generation have
been physically active their entire lives. Many of us have chosen
different activities. Some, like my younger brother, play basketball;
however, this usually involves close physical contact with others.
Others golf. However, depending on where one lives, the MarchApril
weather is not usually cooperative. Golfing also requires the
golf course to be open. Some spin and others do yoga at the gym.
The gym is closed, the spin and yoga classes are canceled. Many
of these activities are restricted by being indoors and violate the
social distancing recommendation. But I chose running as my
activity for physical and mental well-being. Running has none of
these restrictions. Running does not require an organized race. All
around the world organized races have been put on hold, delayed or
canceled. The Boston marathon, rescheduled. The New York City
half marathon, canceled. The Tokyo marathon, canceled. The 2020
Olympics, postponed. The only thing required for running is a pair
of running shoes and the guts to use them.
Running has always cleared my mind and relieved me of a lot of
stress as an emotion-based coping mechanism. And whether I am
running on a road or on a trail I will inevitably pass another runner.
Today there seems to be more runners out here than usual. It feels
like the rest of the world has had some kind of epiphany and taken
up my sport. I haven't seen this many runners with me on the road
since I ran the New York City Marathon. It's okay; there is plenty
of room. I can always tell the new runners, they are either over
striding, overly excited or just overly dramatic when they see even a
slight incline in front of them. I want to tell them to relax, the hill
will end regardless of how hard or easy, how fast or slow they go.
Some runners will be dressed to the 9's with Gore-Tex sweats suits,
a Garmin chronograph and wearing the latest New Balance running
shoe. Others will be in Converse sneakers and cut-off jeans. It really
does not matter how one is dressed for running; it's the running
itself that matters.
