@tri_ing_to_live: If the first half of my race could be described as euphoric, the second half would need a strong word in the other direction. That being said, there is good news and great news out of these moments. The good is that after stretching, rest, and anti-inflammatory meds - my foot feels fine. I’m glad I didn’t push it, even though it was hard for me in the moment. The great news is that I finished. I did something I thought I’d never do again. And even though it looked different and felt different than previous experiences, it still matters and I’ve never felt stronger. The greater news? I started. I showed up at the line after months of training and had the courage to cross over it, not knowing what was ahead. I met some fantastic people, had some unforgettable moments (good & bad), and crossed a very hard thing of my #22hardthingsin2022 list. The result is confidence I haven’t felt in ages and a true belief that I can do hard things. Even now I know I’m capable of much more than I think I am, and that’s a lot. So here’s your reminder that you are strong, capable, and worthy of the life you want to live. And #youcandohardthings #plussizerunner #plussize #depressionlies #halfmarathon #mystory
