Dr. Maroon hit a brick wall years ago when he experienced the three D's: death of his father, divorce, and a deep depression. He got on the treadmill one day and started running. He felt so good that he said it was the first night he slept well. And from then on, he was convinced that exercise was the key to maintaining his mental and physical health. He's now a 70-year-old ironman competitor (unfortunately,controversy still hounds him).
Some of life's most valuable lessons are taught to us when we hit a brick wall. You don't see it when you're in your personal hell, but typically that's when people find out what they're made of.
