RE: [MARATHON BLOG 12] Four miles a day and a long run this weekend (plus: overcoming depression via running)

in #running8 years ago

I only ever ran one marathon....and it was shared...5 of us. It is somewhat famous: Beach to Bay in Corpus Christi, Texas. Oh so Hot and Humid.

I just got back into running....about 1 to 2 miles about 3 times a week. This was at the encouragement of my wife!

I have been dealing with depression on and off lately because of life changes and so much uncertainty.... I think I will run more. I can push myself a little harder and maybe shed some of this baggage thats been holding me back.

Thanks so much for this article...I need to hear just this!!
Peace!

This is great to hear man. Yeah, I hear you. Uncertainty. I don't even believe in "motivation" anymore as much as "What the hell am I doing worrying about everything and condemning myself!? It is not doing jack shit to solve any perceived problems or help anyone. Am I in control, or these feelings!?

That's great you ran a marathon on such a hot and humid day. I'm just a beginner. Am equally encouraged by your comment. Godspeed man. I'll remember I'm not the only one struggling when I'm on my run tonight.

Cheers,

Graham

Thanks!

Hope it went well!!
