Feel calmer. Eat consistently. Move gently. Create routines that actually stick.
You’re Not Behind. You’re Not Failing. You’re Exactly Where You’re Supposed to Be.
You don’t need to lose weight first.

From “Not a Runner” to Marathon Distance
I didn’t grow up athletic.
Running once felt uncomfortable, intimidating, and honestly… not for me.
