you do not need to constantly justify yourself. go ahead. eat pancakes. eat a ton at dinner. eat ice cream sundaes at 1am. take a rest day. take six rest days. sleep in. watch a movie. watch ten movies. no explanations needed. you’re allowed to be kind to yourself.

self-care is going on a long run through the trees

[greenrunning]

If you run for results, your happy runner journey is at the mercy of forces you don’t control. It’s okay to care about results, but not to let them define your self-worth as a runner or person. A process-driven running life is the first step to being a happy runner long term. Because you are enough, ever day, no matter what.”

I did something scary. I paid a lot of money to do something I knew would hurt like hell. I did so willingly.

This is one of my favorite parts of the running community. We KNOW the race we’re gearing up for is going to be painful. It’s going to feel crappy and we’re going to want to stop. We’re going to wonder why we ever decided to pursue that route. Why we paid hard-earned money to feel so much physical and mental exhaustion. Total annihilation. Just... so, so tired.

And yet. We keep coming back. Every time. We know there’s so much more in store for us. And we keep showing up, because deep down (sometimes really deep down) it’s part of who we are. That’s why you, my running friend, are my favorite kind of person ❤️

who else scopes out every single place they go to imagine if it’d be good to run at?
