But also, I’m really doing this. Setbacks might require adjusting my pace, but I’m not quitting. At the beginning of the year, my goal was to finish, and even that felt a bit ridiculous.
And if I look at how far I have come, it’s a lot. I definitely feel the best I have since 2021, probably the best since my ectopic pregnancy in 2014.
I think 15 miles is the furthest I’ve run in my life. I know I did some runs over 10 miles as a teenager, but I don’t think quite this far. So 🎉

@bugsnbuns@jawns.club Setbacks suck but also, good for you! I know where your health has been the last few years and your progress sounds amazing to me! And for someone middle aged, “better than high school” is a feat in and of itself. Absolute numbers are tricky. It’s really easy to convince yourself you’re failing because you’re not hitting the goal. But you’re running better than you were before and 15 miles is nothing to shake a stick at regardless. I’m rooting for you! 💜🏃🏻♀️
