Gonna Fly Now w/Lou Solano

43m · Above Ground Podcast · 15 Mar 07:00

For those of us who lack self love, life can be arduous. Like carrying around a hundred pound weight. A weight hard to shed no matter how hard you run. Lou Solano found recovery in running. Connection in running. And Lou is gonna fly now because he knows he is never alone in running or in life. 

What's up everyone? Welcome to episode one hundred ninety six of Nippertown's mental health podcast from the peerpective. This week we discuss suicide, running and connection. The power of mother nature's soundtrack and a group of strangers cheering you on to just cross the finsih line. Peer support at its essence. 

Lou knows recovery from a suicide attempt is not going to be perfect or easy. Lou likes to focus on where he'd like to finish and not the missteps along the way. Lou came to our attention through his article  titled, You Are Not Alone, for Adirondack Sports magazine in July 2022. Thanks to Julie for making the connection. 

Through training and life Lou continually strides to just keep on running.
