@carissacupido: 10km in the bag 🏃🏽‍♀️🥇 Training for the Sanlam CT Marathon peace run taught me a lot about just showing up even on days when you have to drag yourself onto the road kicking and screaming. I know it sounds dramatic, but moving my body in this way was a dormant practice that felt so unfamiliar and was, frankly, unwelcomed 🤷🏽‍♀️ I wanted to rather sleep more, chill on the couch, watch youtube, scroll for a little bit longer. All habits I've secretly been wanting to replace with healthier options but didn't have the willpower to make the change. The thing about switching it up is that you'll never want to. We're creatures of the familiar, and altering anything will come at the sacrifice of comfort. So, I ran through the self pity, the disappointment, the loneliness, the despondency, the frustration, and why's until it became a little bit less of a nightmare. I'm still very much a student of the running game, but I know for sure that while I passed this finish line I'm not done just yet
