## Resource

The podcast has been MIA for a bit, but I am so happy to be back to share a story I have been excited to share on the show! Earlier this year, my daughter Kathrynne asked if I wanted to run a 10K with her, but there was one minor problem: I wasn’t a runner. I had never run more than a couple of miles without stopping, and running had never really clicked for me. In fact, I had spent years believing I simply wasn’t capable of running, but I said yes to her before I really had time to think about it and then had less than ten weeks to figure out how to run 6.2 miles. Tune in as Jesse and I talk about what happened between that phone call and crossing the finish line. I talk about the training plan that helped me go from barely running two miles to completing a 10K without stopping, why most of my training runs were intentionally easy, and the research that I did to figure out everything from running shoes to hydration and fueling. I also share what surprised me most about race day. I expected the physical challenge, the nerves, and the uncertainty of running in an actual race, but what I didn’t expect was how much I would enjoy running alongside other people and how different the experience would feel from all those quiet solo runs I had grown to love. Ultimately, however, this episode isn’t really about running. It’s about the things we tell ourselves we can’t do and what happens when we stop accepting those assumptions as facts. For years, I had told myself, “I’m not a runner” and “I can’t do that.” Completing the 10K challenged those beliefs in a way I didn’t expect and gave me a newfound confidence that has spilled into other areas of my life, and believe it or not, now I am training for a half marathon! Come listen in as I share what this experience taught me about…
