10 things running has taught me

i just crossed the halfway point of marathon training and boy do i have thoughts

the 17 miles i ran this weekend wiped me out, so my apologies for the delayed post this week!

the TLDR of my first 10 weeks of marathon training is that i am equal parts nervous and excited, inspired and frustrated. the most important thing is that i am learning a lot about myself and my body and my mind, and it’s almost overwhelming?? but i, along with the muscle definition in my thighs, am growing, and that’s something to be proud of.

so here’s a list of 10 things i have learned on the journey so far. lots of juicy recommendations for podcasts and running gear that i am loving, in addition to the usual reflective nuggets!

logistical note: if you’re not a paid subscriber and want access to this post, you can claim a free post, upgrade your subscription, or grab a coffee to read it! IRL friends can also just send me a message, and i’ll be happy to share :)
