Every now and then, we come across something extraordinary. This is the extraordinary story of a young woman, moon. This is about her struggle with depression and how running helps her overcome.
In her own words:
"i failed to kill myself. i kinda gave up on the whole suicide thing cos i'm tired of planning for it. i got whisked off to IMH a.k.a. Woodbridge hospital twice for my attempts. i lost everything (education, jobs, friends, confidence) to depression. it sucks. so here i am still in it (life) i spend most of my time running and swimming. when i'm not in my trainers or at the pool, i like to read, aimlessly ride my motorcycle or simply hangout with my best friend who is my nephew. i forgot to mention i want to do Ironman someday. i think guys in spandex are very sexy. This blog i will talk about my life, the sports i am doing - endurance sports. i will also speak openly about my struggle with depression."
moon's motto is LIVE STRONG
What was amazing was that moon ran the Sundown marathon in spite of not feeling well days before, and finishing in 5:38, ranking 146th out of more than 860 women marathoners. Wow.
I know you are having a bad patch, but hang in there, moon!
