A couple weeks ago I ran Bay to Breakers in a neon wig, makeup, lashes, and a tulle skirt.
And honestly? I had a freakin’ blast.
Every time I run a race, I’m reminded of life. That we’re all running our own race towards something that matters to us.
A dream.
A goal.
A relationship.
A business.
A version of ourselves we haven’t met yet.
Sometimes we’re flying.
Sometimes we’re struggling.
Sometimes we’re looking around wondering why everyone else seems so far ahead of us.
And sometimes we’re convinced we’re doing it all wrong. Or that maybe we should quit.
But here’s what racing always reminds me:
Everyone is running their own race.
Their own course.
Their own pace.
Their own challenges.
Their own timeline.
Your job isn’t to compare your race against anyone else’s, it’s to trust yourself enough to keep running your own.
To navigate the hills, to keep going when things get uncomfortable, to believe in yourself when you can’t yet see the finish line.
And that’s what courage really is, isn’t it?
Not knowing exactly how it’s all going to work out, but continuing to move forward anyway.
One step.
One mile.
One decision at a time.
And whether it takes you six months or six years to reach the thing you’re after…
You still deserve the damn medal.
And yes, that damn banana at the end too. 🍌😉
What are you running towards that matters enough to keep going, even when it’s hard?
I’d love to know in the comments.
