E56: Behind the Bib: Everyone is Carrying Something

From the Love to Run 5K to a Galentine’s recovery night and a quiet five miles on the treadmill, this episode is about what we don’t always see when we look around the running world. Behind every pace, every sweaty shirt pull, and every nervous glance in the mirror is a story — and sometimes a heart that’s healing, growing stronger, or simply trying to keep going.This week, I’m sharing updates from recent events and the observations that stuck with me most: the reminder that we’re all carrying something, and that running often becomes the place where we process it. Whether you’re chasing a goal, rebuilding confidence, or just trying to show up for yourself, this episode is about leading with a little more empathy — for others and for ourselves.Because at the end of the day, running isn’t just about miles. It’s about heart.
