Somewhere between mile 1 and mile 2, I had a massive mind shift.
I went into the Falmouth Road Race with three intentions:
Run. Finish. Stay injury-free.
I wasn’t concerned with how fast I would get there. I just wanted to get there.
I believe deeply that we are always supported. Always.
Yet somewhere along the way, I realized I had a block when it came to running.
I wasn’t seeing the support.
And then, between mile 1 and 2, I became present enough to recognize it.
I was being supported the entire way.
Once I saw it, everything changed.
Even the hills.
Instead of seeing them as something I had to struggle through, I decided they were there for my advantage.
Every uphill had a downhill waiting on the other side — a place where I could recover, pick up my pace and make up time.
The hills didn’t change.
I did.
I listened to my body. I stopped worrying about what running was supposed to look like and decided I would simply find my way to the finish.
Run when I could.
Walk when I needed.
Go around the emotions when they showed up.
Keep moving forward.
And isn’t that life?
It’s not how fast you get there.
It’s not even how you get there.
What matters is that you decide — and keep moving toward where you want to go.
We are supported along the way. Always.
Sometimes our own blocks simply keep us from seeing it.
And sometimes, the very thing we think is working against us is actually working for us.
Today, I saw it.
And I finished strong.❤️
