What's Your Dream?

Every time I read about someone doing a triathlon or marathon I get a bit jealous, I think -- man, I want to be doing that. I don't want to be stuck on the couch sick and insanely fatigued and gaining weight. I have an auto-immune issue and everyday I fight fatigue, fight my joints and just feel like giving up, everything is too much. The laundry is too much - dishes haven't been done in two days but today I at least unloaded the dishwasher and did some Yoga. It's kinda weird that my dream is to be out running when my ankles are all swollen, arthritic and crap, and I have trouble breathing but I wish I had a day where I didn't feel like such a loser.
I hate leaning on "what I used to be ..." and "used to do" all the time. I wish I had something cool I could tell new friends about myself that wasn't a list of symptoms. It's really lonely being ill and support groups are fine but they also sometimes become identities "I'm the person with..." I think I've been using food as a coping mechanism.
Eh' just venting. Have a good night! Had a tough day but tomorrow will be better.
