| History |
| I started running in January of 2004 to get in shape. I had gained too much weight and felt terrible. I was able to run my first 5K 3 months later. 2 years later and 50 lbs lighter, I have continued to push for greater goals and have run 5 marathons and I am training for an Iron distance triathlon now. Everyday I wake up with a positive attitude towards life, training and my future. |

| Depression |
| September 15, 2006 |
DEPRESSION. This is a disease that just sucks the life out of everything around it.
Thankfully I don't have it. But I am affected by it. Half of my life is exposed to it. That would be my home life and I don't know how much more I will be able to take. Everything else in my life is going just the way I want it too. Sure, I could make a little more money, I could be working a better job, I could be driving a newer car, but all in all my life away from home is going great.
My training is progressing on a regular basis. I look forward to waking up every day that I can train, shoot I look forward to anything I have to do as long as I don't have to be home. Sounds kinda brash I know. My love for triathlons includes my love of being surrounded by people I don't know yet feel their positive energy pouring out of each pore of their existence. I have yet to see another triathlete in the water, depressed.
I am exposed to depression on a daily basis. Either in person and up front or on the phone. I sure hope it is not contagious. I will continue to use my training and friendships to fight it off. I have been praying for the answer. As of yet I have not heard a response. I do know that I will find an answer sooner or later. And it will not be an easy one. The hard choices are usually the hard ones to do. As much as I am not looking forward to making that choice I feel that it is inevitable. I can only take so much. |
