Call me a heretic, but I'm convinced that running is not a good way of life

So you think people are better off being depressed or on some kind of medication?

A lot of people with depression who don't address it or treat it properly end up self-medicating and often times end up being addicted to drugs.

Having been addicted to heroin for the last 5 years, I can honestly say I'm a much better and more functionable member of society when I'm actively running.
