Starting Over When You Thought You Were Done

from The Long Run Back

After more than a decade away from running, I'm starting over. Not from injury, not from burnout, but from a decision to do something hard and meaningful at 50. In this first episode, I'm sharing my story: how a chance invitation to a walking relay set everything in motion, how I went from zero to marathons to triathlons (including Kona), and why I stopped after having my last baby. Now, I'm building something new. I'm not chasing old PRs. I've wiped the slate clean and created a new standard for progress. I'll share what triggered this comeback, how I'm approaching training differently this time, and why this isn't just about running. It is about identity, discipline, and doing hard things in a body that plays by new rules. If you're coming back to something, or even thinking about it, this one is for you.
