All were undocumented and all were left untreated because, despite my education and my knowledge on the subject, I thought I could just \u201cdeal.\u201d Part of my symptoms of depression and psychosis was my need to control my routine. Obviously, with young children, this was extremely hard, but luckily I had a support system who recognized that I needed to make sure I got my marathon training done that day. <em>Running not only ensured that I got a break from my babies but it also released those ever-important endorphin<\/em>s I needed to help break the cycle of depression- even if it was only for a little while.<\/li>\n<li><strong>It started a love of fitness-&nbsp;<\/strong>I was never an athlete. I didn\u2019t play sports when I was younger, and I rarely worked out. I started running with a group with a very strong push from a neighbor of mine and I reluctantly agreed. At first, I hated it. It hurt, I couldn\u2019t breathe, and I was slow. I felt embarrassed. I stopped going after a few months but again, she begged me to come back so I did. And I basically never stopped. I was hit with the running bug, which then moved me on to HIIT training. And then to yoga. And spin and swimming and weight-lifting and cross-fit. Now I don\u2019t work out to get rid of the baby fat or to look a certain way.<strong><em> Now I work out because I love it in the same way other people garden or cook for fun.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>It motivates my daughters-&nbsp;<\/strong>As the mother of three girls, one thing I want them to always know is that they can do anything. They can be strong and fierce. They can run far even if they\u2019ve never done it before. Now my girls will ask to go on a run with me. My oldest wakes up some mornings and \u201cgoes for a run\u201d around the block. They have watched me feel the pain of marathon training and work through it, all while doing sweet things to help nurse me back to health like bring an extra cup of ice and dump it into my ice bath\u2026&nbsp;(gee, thanks for your help, kid). Marathon training not only changed me, but it has had an effect on my whole family.<\/li>\n<li><strong>It gave me time to myself-<\/strong>&nbsp;One thing that marathon training takes is time. Every week you are running a ton of miles. You have to carve out hours in your day not only for your run but also for recovery. Marathon training forced me to take time for myself. I couldn\u2019t bring my kids with me on my 15-, 18-, or 20-mile marathon training run. I had to ask for help with my kids,&nbsp;which I don\u2019t normally do, and <strong><em>force myself to step away from the realities of my life<\/em><\/strong>. It gave me much-needed time to myself, which any mother can tell you is important. After all, you can\u2019t pour from an empty glass.<\/li>\n<li><strong>It allowed me to reflect-<\/strong>&nbsp;During all that alone time you have quite a bit of time to think. One of the biggest takeaways I have from marathon training was being able to reflect on myself- my parenting, my relationship with my husband, my friendships, my work.<em> I never listened to music while I ran, so the stillness of the world around me allowed me to soak in the moments, too.<\/em> I found myself paying more attention to what was around me- the trees, the air, the old buildings I was passing- and <strong><em>really be present<\/em><\/strong>. I learned how to become mindful which was reflected in my parenting and my marriage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Daily-mom-parent-portal-Marathon-Training.png\" data-pin-description=\"\" data-pin-title=\"\" data-pin-id=\"\" src=\"denied:data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyMDQ4IDEzNjUiIHdpZHRoPSIyMDQ4IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEzNjUiIGRhdGEtdT0iaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZkYWlseW1vbS5jb20lMkZwb3J0YWwlMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjElMkYwNSUyRkRhaWx5LW1vbS1wYXJlbnQtcG9ydGFsLW1hcmF0aG9uLTMtMS0yMDQ4eDEzNjUuanBnIiBkYXRhLXc9IjIwNDgiIGRhdGEtaD0iMTM2NSIgZGF0YS1iaXA9IiI+PC9zdmc+\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"Daily-mom-parent-portal-5 Unexpected Ways Marathon Training Changed My Life\" class=\"wp-image-245037\" title=\"5 Unexpected Ways Marathon Training Changed My Life 5 Daily Mom Parents Portal\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h5>Read More: The Importance Of Hydration And Why It Is So Critical To Your Health<\/h5>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>Looking back over the past seven years of my life, I can easily say that running changed me.<em> The direction of my life would not be nearly the same as it is now<\/em> if I didn\u2019t continue running.
