A year and a half ago, I decided to believe in something that felt a little ridiculous.
I was going to run every Abbott World Marathon Major.
I was 17 years post-brain injury, a back-of-the-pack runner, and had absolutely no idea how I was going to make it happen.
But I decided to believe it anyway.
And then I started making decisions like the woman who was actually going to do it.
Funny thing about believing something is possible and then consistently showing up for it…
I’m now running about 3 minutes per mile faster than I was 18 months ago.
And today I’m in Australia, getting ready to run World Major #2 in Sydney—with #3 and #4 already on my calendar for 2027. 🥹🏃♀️
That’s why I love this idea so much.
Pick a Friday six months from now and put:
“Everything Worked Out Celebration Dinner”
on your calendar.
Not because putting something on your calendar magically makes it happen.
But because there’s something powerful about deciding the future you want is possible—and then beginning to live like you believe it.
Especially in this season of life.
Gen X women, we are NOT too old.
We are NOT too late.
And the best parts of our story do not have to be behind us.
Sometimes the first step is simply giving yourself permission to believe:
What if it really does work out?
So tell me—if we were sitting together at your “Everything Worked Out” dinner six months from now, what would we be celebrating? ❤️
