Day 18/100 – Me vs Me Challenge becoming a runner

Done & dusted by 6:30am 💪

Today felt… good. Not hard. Just me, the quiet morning, and a bunch of rain-loving worms 🌧️🪱

I’ve been letting summer mornings move slowly, giving myself space to wake up, reset, and breathe before heading into the office. After a full afternoon of kiddo appointments and a quick dinner, Khloe 👧🏼💕🌻 and I decided to take the golden hour for ourselves. She biked. I walked (with ankle weights for ✨spice✨) and read my book 📖 — racing the calendar to finish before the end of the month!

New running shoes came in (finally!) so I’ll be breaking those babies in soon 👟

No yoga tonight, just rest and a heart that’s showing up again tomorrow.

👣 Here’s to Day 19 — I’m ready.

... Read moreAs I navigate Day 18 of my running challenge, I'm reminded of the beauty of slow summer mornings. The quiet streets and soft rain create a perfect backdrop for reflection and resilience. Each run is more than just exercise; it's a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. This morning, I embraced the outdoors, the rhythm of my breath, and the sound of nature surrounding me. Incorporating ankle weights adds an extra layer of challenge, enhancing my strength and endurance. It's a reminder that while the path to becoming a runner can be tough, every step taken is a victory in itself. New running shoes have arrived, fueling my motivation and symbolizing new beginnings. Every mile brings me closer to my goals and reaffirms my commitment to this challenge. I invite fellow fitness enthusiasts to share their experiences! How do you stay motivated on your running journey? Let's connect through the Lemon8 community and support one another in achieving our fitness aspirations.
