Ok ready for the app that helped pulled me out of my depression after I was suffering with severe postpartum depression?

I used to be super super into running. Up until I was diagnosed with ehlers danlos, I ran constantly.

Yes.Fit

I ran through the hills of Scotland for s unicorn medal. I ran through the rocky mountains for another medal. Each over 100 accumulated miles. It gave me a goal. A purpose. Something to strive for that I KNEW I could meet. I knew I could run. I wasn't timed if I didn't want it. I could take as long as I wanted to meet the finish line.

And eventually I moved to timed ones.

And I completed them in time. Without anxiety. Without depression. Without rage.

Keep running friend โค๏ธ it's nature's medicine.

Thank you Taylor!!! I will definitely check that app out ๐Ÿ’—somehow I missed that you were an avid runner. Those runs sound fucking amazing. In the back of my mind Iโ€™ve always wanted to run something ultra long like that!

It sadly had to take a seat on the bench due to my POTS and hypermobility but I ran from age 14-27.

It made all those long runs feel so obtainable!

Yeah that really sucks! Iโ€™m sorry you canโ€™t run anymore, it must not be easy
