#optoutside
Doesn’t matter what your level of success may be, depression affects everyone at some point. My spirits ran a little low yesterday afternoon and it rattled me just a bit.
Opted to go outside, take a moment and put some slow miles on my feet. It didn’t cure everything but I came back home rejuvenated.
Running, cycling, swimming – none of it replaces therapy but it’s definitely therapeutic to my soul.
Yesterday’s Movements:
Running: 3.1 miles (45 mins)
Cycling: 11.11 miles (45 mins)

Reindeer Lichen - (Cladonia rangiferina) - Other common names include reindeer mossandcaribou moss, but these names may be misleading since it is not a moss. Found primarily in areas of alpine tundra, it is extremely cold-hardy. The Inland Dena'ina used reindeer lichen for food by crushing the dry lichen and then boiling it or soaking it in hot water until it becomes soft.
