[Music] some of you guys are too embarrassed to join a run club or run group cuz you feel like you’re not fast enough you see them all the way at the back just get out there good morning today we are running 20 miles I have my husband here mile 1 1450 mile 2 1456 Mile 10 1406 mile 15 1443 M 19 Mile 19 1451 that’s it mile 20 1423 oh my gosh I started running about a year ago and I was 7 months postpartum I remember my very first run it was hard for me to run for 30 seconds straight it was really challenging I wanted to just get to a mile people say my race my pace and I think that’s true for running I think it’s true in life we just have to focus on what we’re doing and what feels good to us it’s all about consistency of effort even if you’re just out there running half a mile a mile every other day like it builds up over time I am a mom and a wife and a business owner and an employee and all the things and so when I’m running it’s like that’s for me at any other time I’m something to someone but when I’m running like it’s just my me time heading into the marathon just thinking like what this Milestone means to me automatically I feel emotional feel so ready I feel so confident and the training is the real work the marathon itself is the the Victory lap slow running Community is so important and I think that as it continues to grow more and more people are going to feel brave enough to just start brave enough to get out there for the first time brave enough to fail a couple times right you’re going to have a couple runs where you get out there and you’re not feeling it and you have to go home and try again another day you’re going to have those runs where you really struggle through them right but I think by having this community and seeing that other people are going through the same thing seeing that other people are taking that brave step just like you it can really Empower you to keep going now being able to kind of start my own run Club so um it’s actually brand new it’s called Best For Last and it’s really just a play on celebrating you know that you know we’re saving the best for last and creating a place where people of all Paces feel comfortable and confident and safe and seen show other Soul Runners that like they absolutely belong and they can be in good Community while they do it [Music]
