@mindfulstrength_35: A year ago, I told myself, “I want to start running.” 🏃🏻‍♀️ I knew it would be hard, but I didn’t realize how much of the battle would be mental. So I started small. I showed up. I kept telling myself, “I can do this.” And today, I’m holding a 5K medal. 🏅 Maybe it’s “just a 5K” to some people. But to me, it represents something bigger: a year ago, I didn’t even run. Never minimize your progress because it looks small to someone else. One mile. One day. One decision at a time. The climb is worth it. 🤍✨ #firstmarathon #5k #santamonica #runner #fyp
