Here's how i ran my first half marathon ✨

I have wanted to be a runner for 10+ years but never believed in myself enough to commit and show up for myself until this past year. I just ran my first half marathon (+ signed up for my first full in the summer!!) & here's some things that helped me 💫

1. Sign up for a FUN race & hold yourself accountable by telling people you love and trust who can help support you!

2. The biggest game changer for me - Join a local running club!! The running community is so kind and very supportive of new runners! Living in Nashville there were tons to choose, but most cities have them! They gave me an added layer of support, invaluable advice and education, and a sense of community I hadn't had before!

3. Your playlist is everything! Find what motivates you and make the most fire playlist (or there are tons of playlist out there, if you want I'll add some in the comments) share your favorite running songs in the comments!

4. Believe in yourself! You can do all the hard things if it means living into your values!
