9 days to the @chimarathon Reflecting. Doing things that scare you: No one starts “qualified” to run 26.2 miles—the strength, endurance, and the mental capacity are built mile by mile. I think about people pursing fitness. Maybe being hesitant to try a new class or join a new community - being scared they won’t fit in, or feeling they don’t belong. Maybe feeling they aren’t ready. Worthiness and readiness aren’t prerequisites; they are outcomes of showing up and doing the work. Really the only prerequisite is being brave, and showing up day one. Then you belong ✌🏻 9 days out 🏃 #on #onrunning #chimarathon #chicagorunning #chicago #runningchicago #runchicago #runclubchicago #runclub
