A work friend and I run a 5k twice a week at lunch. There is something therapeutic that happens when you jog with a friend at a casual pace. You can’t look each other in the eye so you say a lot of things that you’d normally be uncomfortable talking about.

Yeah, I hear ya. Any cardio exercise helps with that though. I like to hike on local trails at a brisk pace and I’m in a decent place there (not running any 10Ks though)
