Do you remember what it feels like to move your body just because it feels good, rather than because you ‘have’ to
I grew up being told NOT to run in the rain for fear of catching pneumonia. Lol
Day 37 of wedding training looked a little different tonight.
I set out to create an opportunity to run this evening. It was an intentional stretch from board game night to the station. just me, the Jersey City streets, and the rain.
There is something incredibly grounding about deciding to move and then following through. It wasn’t about the weather or the convenience; it was about the commitment. It was a freeing and magical Solo Night Run.
For those of us over 40, we often wait for the “right” conditions to prioritize ourselves. We wait for the sun to come out or the schedule to clear. We wait for a ‘Special Occassion’ to where the outfit. You are the ‘Special Occassion.’
The magic happens when you decide that movement is simply the norm.
Whether you are training for a big day or just training for a better life, don’t wait for an invitation. Take the lead.
