A Thousand Tiny Steps

Running Taught Me to Love My Body


Listen Later

Running was a part of my life for years and then… it was gone. I've had to rebuild my life piece by piece and in the process I've realized I need to get back into running. It's the sport that taught me to love my body and more importantly gave me a community that understood the struggles and triumphs of running.

Key Takeaways:

[3:11] Running allowed me to love my body

[5:11] The sexual abuse that's prevelant to elite athletes

[7:42] Being isolated from the running community

[10:57] Thinking back to why I didn't fight for myself

[12:55] Running is still painful for me, but I want it to be a bigger part of my life

[16:46] If you're a past runner of mine, please message me

[17:55] I've been really successful at coaching and want to continue

[22:04] I'm re-establishing a 5K
