I am so glad you have a great doc--I am also lucky with my pdoc (totally accessible) and I am fortunate to see one of the best CBT therapsists in the country (talk about pressure to improve). I do totally understand your responses--I would never quit running (well I might if I could substitute biking) but the sheer simplicity and elegance of running make it almost irreplacable. I really want to offer some sage advice but with the doc you have I can not think of anything to say. I always described my daily running as a positive addiction/obsession which I do truly think it is--but as I got older I also realized there were other pure obsessive streams in my thinking that were causing unnecessary pain and depression. May be a sit down with a really good cbt might be helpful. For some reason I feel a great deal of empathy for youyr discomfort (perhaps it is to close to home). I wish you the best and please keep us posted--If I have any brainstorms I will post them for what they are worth. I run a large community mental health center and I will pick some of the docs brains--with never a mention regarding the possibility of reducing your running program. Stay in touch fca
