I ran two half marathons in two weeks! The motivation behind this was my quest to beat 36-year-old Me’s time - my personal best. It wasn’t to be, even after two attempts but I actually feel pretty great 😊 Because 47-year-old Me is an entirely different person, whose body and mind have had many more experiences, good and bad, and 47-year-old Me is stronger for that (and, arguably, much cooler 😁😬). So I’m celebrating how awesome it is to be able to do this sort of thing, and not compare myself to what or who I used to be. It’s been an interesting lesson and I feel privileged to be able to learn it.
(I also feel privileged to have been on this journey with my awesome running coach and general super-woman .skinner1 - thanks Lin, let’s see what else I can do!)
