I am not a runner.
I am not an athlete.
I am just not good at that stuff.
There’s no way I can do it.
This has been the soundtrack of my life, inside my own head. I am a Never Runner.
But here I am, having run a 5K distance without walking even once, for the first time in my life.
I ran it slow. But I ran it steady, and I felt good, and I was going faster at the end than I was at the beginning, and that’s good enough for me. Also, I want to do it again.
I am 42 1/2 years old, and I am discovering that I have been talking myself out of things for about 42 of those years.
I can always do more than I think I can.
Bet you can too.
Good for you, Carol! Good for you.
