Showed up 4 the version of me I used to dream abt✨
This morning I woke up and just… went. I haven’t run long distance since last Christmas, when my mom and sister were here and we all hit this same trail together. This year, I was physically alone, but choosing to go anyway felt like its own kind of strength.
My goal was 3 miles (maybe 5 if I could push it). I did 5.59miles. Groin tight, bored halfway, and greeting strangers with “Merry Christmas” just to make myself laugh and keep going 😂
6 months ago I wasn’t at my healthiest; mentally or physically. About 5 months ago, everything shifted. I got sober. I built active habits. I lost weight. I gained confidence. I made all A’s this semester. I treated myself to trips.
I may have been running alone today, but I didn’t feel alone. I felt love from everywhere and I’m proud of me.
Merry Christmas ❤️🎄
