Running saved my life. It channeled my anger, it calmed my need for apologies, it gave me permission to start my days with peace instead of systematic chaos.#
Well today I got ahead of myself and started getting in logic. I should be running straight through. I’m regressing. I’m walking more. I’m not increasing my pace. SO WHAT. I’m not even in competition with myself anymore lol cuz this week was bound to be trash biologically and womanly. But I still showed up which means stop tryna rush the process, stop comparing and just wait

It’s absolutely ok to walk instead of a run when you need to. Denzel Washington’s mom said “you could be running in circles and getting nowhere” and then he said “don’t confuse movement with progress.” I’m glad you are doing the pace that’s best for you.

You’re doing amazing and it’s so beautiful to see your journey. But give yourself some grace girl. It’s literally hot and humid. Even the fastest runner has a slower pace during this time. Temperatures will cool soon and you’ll see the difference. But don’t base your progress on how your body is responding and adapting to these conditions. You’re doing great.
