Chase the Joy, not the Time

This post was inspired by the wonderful words of runner Molly Seidel. “Our sport is all about metrics. What’s your time? What’s your pace? How far did you go? How many people did you beat?

Reclaim your Momentum

Do you feel like you are stagnant or backtracking? During training seasons, we experience a remarkable transformation of witnessing our mind and body grow over time.

Be Your Own Cheerleader

Running takes commitment and determination, from you and no one else! In running, there’s rarely people holding you accountable to show up. Will you give it your best during months of training – even on those days you don’t feel like it? Will you promise to be consistent? It’s actually liberating when your success andContinue reading “Be Your Own Cheerleader”
