Big changes are coming to this space—and I feel called to share them with you. Over the next few months, our community and message will be expanding to include a spiritual component, rooted in the idea that movement isn’t just about running or walking—it’s about connecting with God.In this episode, I talk about why I believe starting is a celebration, why restarting is a superpower, and how showing up “perfectly imperfect” is not just enough, but powerful. Together, we’ll reflect on how giving more than we take allows us to rise by lifting others—and how all of this ties into the theme of chasing the light.I’m not here to preach or guilt or shame. I’m here to invite you into what I’m experiencing, because I believe someone needs to hear this. I’ll also share a story about a friend who came to me wanting to learn to run—not to hit a distance goal, but to love herself again.This is the beginning of a rebrand, a new direction, and an open invitation: to move your body, connect with your spirit, and let God meet you right where you are—even if that means starting as an absolute beginner.

This is a community for those who are trying to run their first 5k or run their best ever 5k! I was a very competitive 5k cross country runner in high school, but that was many moons ago! Now I have made my way back to the sport of running in my late 30’s (36 to be exact) with the goal to run my fastest 5k ever by the age of 40. I want to share this journey with you and share my years of experience with racing, injuries and more; to help you become the best runner you can possibly be. #5k #running #racing #5krace
