Last week i ran to work, I ran to the gym, I ran to pickup takeout from a restaurant, I'm starting to feel like Forest Gump. Instead of walking 30 minutes to work and being bored (when I don't bike) why not run and get there in half the time and feel like I got a workout? I'm really enjoying it.
I know some people who know me think I'm becoming even more weird since my breakup in August (my ex of 12 years split and I live alone now) since I dont have a car and bike and run everywhere as a 40 year old lawyer, but I really regret not living this way before. I'm really, really enjoying it.
Does anyone else run to get places?

Good to hear you found a positive way to get about. Probably helps with the mental health too. One bit of advice is that you don't overdo the running, keep a balanced body (with all those exercises you mentioned) so variety is good for ya.
