Running Again with Team Regiment
After I finished T3, I hit a slump partially caused by a string of horrible jobs and partially due to apathy and neglected to keep my body in shape. I started struggling with depression, a mindset that I had thought long defeated and buried. The lack of Dopamine influx was having quite a number on my mental stability.
Still I was offered a way out a few months ago, and escaped the vicious cycle of working jobs that keep you poor. Having freed myself from this very dark place, I finally returned to my passion. Working out, especially the grueling Spartan Races that have become a beacon of pride for me.
As a Regiment Elite I am held to a higher standard to my workouts and the races I run. While I may not always be on the podium, I find that it is my duty to help ensure that the next group of recruits can help bring themselves to an apex of physical ability.
And to that end, I will be testing myself tomorrow at Masters of All Terrain. It is the first long distance event I have participated in since T3. And since, for me, running a half marathon is too easy, I will be bringing a ruck to the race. While it will slow me down considerably, the extra weight will give me the challenge I now crave as a Regiment Elite.
