Some runs empower you. Today’s did both. I didn’t want to start. I wanted to quit 100 times. But I kept moving forward — and that’s what matters. Not every run will feel good. Not every mile will be fast. But showing up, even when it’s hard, builds the kind of strength no one can see — and no one can take away. Progress isn’t about perfection — it’s about persistence. If you’re struggling today, just remember: You’re still lapping the version of you who stayed on the couch. LTKMidsize LTKActive LTKGiftGuide
