March,

My first half marathon!

After 12 weeks of training and 3 long runs, Sun and I made it through my first half. Our dear friend warned a group of us that she had an idea to surprise her husband who turns 60 this year. Twice now, I’ve ridden my bike through wine country in Italy with this group of people. The first time, I had been on a road bike three times total in my life. In 2017 I ran my first 8k with them all as my birthday surprise. When they mentioned a half marathon was a possibility I was already researching how to train. This group has witnessed me overcome so many firsts they weren’t even surprised I was already running when we decided to buy the tickets and register. A quote that has become my mantra, “you have to earn confidence,” well to say I’m proud of my accomplishment is an understatement. I’m a procrastinator at heart and since I was small, I have always worn the label of flakey. My commitment to yoga and my yoga community have helped unburden me from the stories I carried about myself for way too long. Thank you for allowing me to share this journey with all of you!

Coming up!
