Mon histoire…
I never thought I would "not run". Running in nature has always offered me peace and freedom - it has been my clarity of mind. However, after a skiing injury, I found myself unable to run. This happened around the same time as menopause. Suddenly, I found myself struggling with depression, anxiety and an overwhelming sense of losing myself. Since 2018, I have continued to struggle. I've spoken with so many women do! I have lost myself mentally, have gained weight, and have been in a mental downward spiral ever since. I have been afraid to try to run again - for fear of further injury. But, tonight, I choose to make strides to try to take back my health. To see if I can run again. To see if this will help bring clarity to my mind again. And, if I cannot run again after trying, I will walk and do so to support women's mental health. I will no longer be ashamed of my story. Today, I choose to share openly, be vulnerable, and have the courage to, once again, "try again".
