Happy Fourth of July week! We can't wait to see you out there! 👟🎆👟

When we run, we are forced to dig deep. To find calm in chaos. To push past the difficult parts and physical pain. To quiet the little voice inside that says "stop," "you aren't good enough."

When we master finding peace in running, even in the midst of all the adversity, we all of a sudden are the keepers of an amazing skill. And the application of the skill of finding peace in times of difficulty transcends far beyond just the act of running.

Running brings us so much more than the physical fitness. To run is to grow. And what an incredible gift that is. 💜

What a great morning to enjoy a run with our friends from Bloomington Moms On The Run! Great breeze off the lake, sunshine, and even some welcome shade along Minnehaha Creek.

We have this tendency to think of being a runner as something elite, or that requires some specifications to be met before we can ascribe ourselves the title. But guess what? There are no specifications! 🎉 If you run ANY distance, at ANY speed, for WHATEVER duration, YOU are a runner!! Wear that badge with pride, you runner, you! 🏅

The goal doesn't always have to be to speed up! Sometimes, we just need to go slow enough to *really* see and appreciate the little things. So go ahead, take that pictures of the mushrooms on the trail, stop and touch the moss, go ahead and admire that cool rock! You got this! 🙌😄

Also, sometimes I run really, really far. So...there's that? 🤔😂

It isn't fair to compare your journey (or your run!) to someone else's. Our journeys are all different! Different paths. Different obstacles. Different tempos. Do your best, have fun, and enjoy the path you're on!

😅 Race season is upon us and there are soooo many finisher medals just WAITING to hang around your neck (and subsequently put in a box in your closet where you won't see it again until you place your next medal in there...). 😂

Do you have a special way you display your medals or are you of the "in a box in my closet" camp? 😉
