Ironman NZ 2012 Preparation (Day 8) 23/10/11

Feeling a bit tired with the late nights lately. The body seems to be adjusting to the increase of training.

Ran home after working all day, being on my feet definitely not as easy as when i had a desk job. Waiting for the rugby to start. There's a buzz around that is hard to describe. This reminds me of team Canada playing for the gold medal at the Vancouver winter Olympics last year. Hope it's the same outcome with the home team coming out on top.

Over the last few days i have noticed a few things about my emotional state and senses have been dulled down. I have to put those down to the anti-depressants.

I used to get a thrill when I bought something. I used to feel nervous or anxious while waiting for something or overly excited over small things. I used to cry or get easily hurt when things weren't going my way. I used to over react easily and get frustrated really quickly. I think due to my depression, my emotions have always been overly stimulated and processing of those emotions was rapid and irrational. Things that used to stimulate me, have all been dulled, even those that made me feel great. Life in most areas are better, those things that I found addictive that made me feel great have also been muted. I guess those things like buying things and eating food, I was a junkie. Now I an on the rode to recover.
