How and why I started with running.

Restored from the Empower Network archive (2011–2017), lightly edited to meet our current advertising standards. Views are the original author’s.

We married in 1999. The wedding was great. People loved the food and also the entertainment we prepared. We spent our honeymoon in Spain,

Costa Brava in a cheap but clean hotel. We even went on a daytrip to see Barcelona. It was a great day. 

Year 2001. I was really depressed.

We spent the New Year’s Eve 2000 in Paris. The city of love. Well yes. We had a great time. But something went wrong. And I know I was partially to blame.

May be I did not love my wife deeply and passionately enough. I remember the tiny hotel we stayed in.

After I lost all the money we had, my wife had to vomit into the bathroom toilet. I gambled in the streets of Paris.

Not that I wanted. We had an argument. I had to do something. So I lost the money.

Two years later I was sitting in my parents’ house and I was trying to concentrate very hard. I read my study book

maybe 10 times already and could not remember a word. I hated the subject.

My estranged wife was living in a flat downtown, far away from me. She was thinking of me.

I was thinking of her. I sent her an SMS. There came no answer.

Two hours later she wrote me:“Please do not contact me. Let’s make it easier for both of us. “

I was angry, I was sad. I did not know what I was supposed to feel.

Later that night I went to a bar. I had couple of beers and a shot of something. I sent her another SMS.

The very next day I decided to fight my depression and sadness.  I knew I was responsible.

I put on old running shoes and went out.  I ran for about an hour. One hour.

It felt great. I mean really great. It was a bright sunny day.  That was the day when I decided that whatever happens in my life I will always fight back.

And I can always go for a jog and feel much better.

10 years later I still run. Not every day. But surely every week. If I do not run I go for a swim or a spinning class. I do triathlon and now I even train for an Ironman.

I assume my ex-wife is happy now. She is married again, two kids. Great. I am happy for her. She married a guy twice her age. I know him. He is a great guy.

Leve me some comments if you had similar experience, I would love to hear your story too.

Cheers.
