I’m one of those people that is great at masking and life was not going as planned for me that day. Ultimately I know that God’s way will be different than mine but sometimes its hard to accept that when you’re in it yknow?
I’m so grateful that instead of sitting at home by myself, I decided to surround myself with these weird people @ultrablack that love running.
tbh, I wanted to leave after the first 1k because I ate WAAY too much watermelon, and I could FEEEL my bladder.
IT TURNS OUT…that was my mind making excuses because I ended up running the WHOLE 5k.
It was all thanks to the people of this group that replaced that voice in my head
I was going to take the easier 4k route, but then the 5k leader told me NAH “stop acting like you kan’t run” 😭
I was going to stay at the back, but then I met this beautiful women who said NAH you’re slacking too much
These people didn’t even know it, but they helped a Kueen that was absolutely down
So if you read all the way here, then HEEEY TWIN I need you to know something.
Even though it feels like it, you’re not alone in this world.
Find some sort of klub that forces you to move with other people. It doesn’t have to be high intensity, but something that reminds you that there’s more to life then sitting in worry, doubt, depression, fear

P.S Go drink some water
Joining a run klub turned out to be one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve made, especially on days when I felt like giving up on myself. Initially, I was hesitant and wanted to quit after barely 1 kilometer, feeling physically uncomfortable thanks to too much watermelon and a nervous bladder. But the encouragement from the people there, who didn’t know the depths of my struggles, helped me silence the negative voice in my head. What struck me was how the group vibe and friendly pushes—from leaders telling me to stop making excuses and peers calling me out on slacking—transformed my running experience. It wasn’t about competition or pacing but about connection, shared effort, and smiles amid sweat. Those moments when someone you hardly know tells you, “You got this,” or “Stop slacking!” can be surprisingly powerful. I learned that being part of a community that gently holds you accountable helps build resilience. Even when you doubt your own strength, others' belief can fuel you through tough spots. The run klub created a space where vulnerability was met with support, and the focus shifted from just finishing to embracing the process. The beautiful views during the run, the laughter, and the collective stretching afterward added layers of joy I hadn’t expected. This experience taught me that sometimes life’s challenges feel less heavy when shared. Taking part in physical activity with others can be a simple yet effective way to combat feelings of isolation, anxiety, and self-doubt. It reminded me that moving your body alongside a community can help shift your mindset, making the impossible feel possible. If you’re feeling stuck, I highly recommend finding a group or klub—even if it’s a small walking group—that encourages you to move and share space with others. High intensity isn’t necessary; it’s the movement and connection that count. When you surround yourself with people who cheer you on, you might just surprise yourself with what you’re capable of. So next time you hesitate, remember: you’re not alone, and sometimes all it takes is one encouraging word or step to turn your day around. And yes, always drink water before you run—it makes a difference!
