โYou are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.โ โ C.S. Lewis

This time last year, I started this love affair with 13.1. I say love affair, because the ultimate goal was to never fall out of love with running as I moved the finish line. Oh what a beautiful journey it has been!๐ฅฐ
In 2024, I made a promise to myself that for my 40th birthday *2025*, I would run a half marathon. (I had been saying I was going to for the past two years, but would back out - due to fear *healthโค๏ธโ๐ฉน*.)
In 2025, I set three goals :
ยทย Run my 1st Half Marathon โ๏ธ
ยทย Run 5 Half Marathons in 2025 โ๏ธ
๐
Atlanta Publix Half Marathon
๐
Nashville Rock N Roll
๐
Brooklyn Half * Thank you *
๐
Area 13.1 Half Marathon
๐
Thanksgiving Day Half Marathon
ยทย Fall in love with 13.1 โ๏ธ
Not only did I run a half marathon, but I have truly spent 2025 falling in love with 13.1.
I have so much love and respect for the distance, even throughout the Atlanta hills.๐ฅด For me, it is so important to truly learn and love something before moving on to the next. So many times people would ask, โwhy donโt you run a marathon โ and I would always tell them how much I loved this distance. 2025 was the year of 13.1 for me. I donโt think I will ever let her go from 1st, but
2026 will move the finish line here and there.๐
If you have not already, set your goals for 2026 and donโt stop until you achieve them.
You CAN do it, if you get out of your own way. I believe in YOU!๐๐พ๐ซถ๐พ
