Fuck yeah, cousin. Instead of a beer after work, give me a nicely paced jog at a good distance for you (idk your fitness level, but a mile is generally the least you should go for if your knees aren't all fucked), then come home and unwind in a hot bath. Throw a hot, wet towel over your head and just inhale the steam, slowly exhale. Just breathe in the moment as your body is cleansed.
If you can do it, run your ass off. Don't do this too close to your bed time, otherwise you could end up sort of "wired" and have trouble falling asleep. If you can do this before dinner, dinner will taste so good and by your typical bed time you'll be exhausted. You should be able to fall asleep and stay asleep till the morning.
Good luck and hang in there. When you're running tomorrow, if a voice in your head creeps in and starts saying "It's okay to stop running, slow down, this is hard", I want you to shout "FUCK YOU, NIGGER, I'MA KEEP RUNNING!!" and dig fucking deep. You can do it.
