Iâm a mid-pack runner. Iâve never been the front-row, sprint-from-the-gun, chase-the-pace-car kind of athlete.
So when they told me to step up and I realized I was at the very start the corral at Every Womanâs Marathon yesterday⊠I had a full âwait, WHATTT??â moment.
It was pure joy. The crowd. The energy. The wide-open road in front of me. It felt like this tiny, unexpected reminder that you donât have to be the fastest to have a main-character moment in running⊠or in life.
You just have to show up. With your whole heart. And let yourself take up space when the moment presents itself.
Still smiling about it today.
