Depression Hates a Moving Target

Taneil Casey

Think you can’t hard things? That’s what Nita Sweeney thought when she decided to go on a run one afternoon. That run, and her determination to not let it fizzle out like so many other whims before, lead her to eventually running a marathon. Learning how to manage her anxiety, talk her way through her fears and her frequent desire to give up all contributed to her continuing her running course and becoming healthier and happier along the way.

While that description may sound trite, one of the things I appreciated most about Nita’s story is that she isn’t a washed up athlete, or an already averagely fit woman looking to up her cardio game.

I started running a few years ago and while I have only completed a 10k myself, I was encouraged by Nita’s internal rumination and the running stories she shared. I’m reinspired to set my own running goals and maybe someday I’ll run my own marathon!

If you feel average or below average, Nita’s story can certainly inspire you to take small steps toward your goals, take as long as you need, but to never stop making progress.
