Run SY Run

So I brought my walking pad to work because it was doing absolutely nothing but occupying space at home.

What surprised me was how different the experience felt. Today, I spent 30 minutes walking while creating agendas and working through my to-do list, and the time flew by. I barely noticed I was on it.

At home, stepping on that same walking pad for 30 minutes can feel like an act of Congress.

It’s funny how changing the environment can completely change the experience. The walking didn’t get easier. The walking pad didn’t change. Somehow, it just fit better into my day.

Sometimes movement doesn’t have to be perfect. Sometimes you just have to find what works.

Spent last week in DC attending a conference. Came back to the office this morning and found my orchid in full bloom. 🌸

Sometimes the most beautiful things happen quietly while we’re focused on what’s next.

While I was away, this orchid was growing and blooming without any help from me.

A gentle reminder that not everything requires our attention, our effort, or our control. Some things simply unfold in their own time.

Stop and smell the roses… or in this case, admire the orchid. ❤️

Happy Tuesday!!

My friend sent me this knowing I haven’t ran in a while, but I’ve been talking about getting back into it 😭

No half….so I guess we’re doing the full.

Looks like I’m finally checking a marathon off my bucket list.

Training starts in August

Y’all running with us or nahh? 👀

I walked into the gym this am expecting it to feel like another task to get through. But somewhere between the first set and the last, I realized something had shifted.

I was not there trying to force motivation. I was not angry at the scale. I was not mentally negotiating with myself the entire workout. I just worked.

And for the first time in a couple of weeks, it felt good again. I felt present. Focused. Connected to what I was doing instead of constantly thinking about the outcome.

Maybe that is what this new phase is supposed to teach me. How to stay committed without carrying so much pressure into every workout.

All I know is today felt different in the best way.

The journey continues.
