Crossing the finish line after 13 years wasn’t just about numbers—it was about reclaiming my identity as a runner. The training, the rituals, the mindset—all came together on race day. If you’re thinking of starting or restarting your fitness journey, remember: discipline beats doubt. Every step you take is a step forward.
Recovery isn’t just physical—it’s emotional. After 13 years, this race reminded me that progress is possible at any age. I’m not chasing perfection—I’m building a lifestyle. If you’ve just finished a race or are planning one, remember: rest is part of the plan. Your next finish line is waiting.
