I love the Olympics. I watch as much as I could. I did get to see my favorites (gymnastics, swimming, and archery) and another I never watch before. I watch both of the marathons. I thought that they were impressive. Wow 26.2 miles.
The other day was going through the news on sites I frequent. I came across an article about Amelia Gapin was the first transgender woman on the cover of Woman’s Running.
This made me want to run again. I have been thinking of it for a while. Since I started my transition, I want to be a fit woman. I tried to get it started 9 months ago but stopped when I moved to be on my own.
I have had a hard time getting out of my apartment. This is due to my anxiety and my depression. I just do not do anything when the depression gets too hard. I no longer have the voices in my head that told me that I was not worth being alive. Those voices caused me to lose my right to my son. That is a hold new post. I just feel lazy.
When I ran I felt better. It release a lot of the anxiety. My mind was focused on the running. I miss it. So…..
I will run.
Next week I am starting to “train” for a 5k. After I get that completed maybe I will train for a half marathon.
I will be posting my training updates.
Good luck with your running. I suffer with anxiety and depression and I am also a runner. I can completely relate to the fact that sometimes I just don’t want to get out of bed and do it. But I do and when I do it’s the best feeling ever. I’m now training for a half marathon. You can do it! I’m following your blog so I can read more of your journey.
