I've done a bit of running over the years. I did ramp it up a fair deal when trying to cope with depression. I managed to run half a dozen marathons over several years as well as a fair number of halfs, and the world famous(!) City2Surf in Sydney another load of times.
Since confronting the main cause of my depression (any guesses?!!!) I've not had the anger and agitation that used to drive me out of the house and would drive me to do the long distances. I still run fairly often, but I don't get much beyond 4 or 5 km currently. I would like to do a bit more......primarily to do something about the stomach pre HRT and all the rest of it. I may be leaving that a bit late, however.
I would love to be one of those fit women running gracefully along. Well, we can hope.....!
