And, my race season is done! 😊 Back to back weekend 5ks. Years ago this would have been a breeze. As challenging as this was I can't wait to do it again next year. I miss the running community so much. 😭
*Collective effervescence is the shared feeling of energy, harmony, and connection that bubbles up when a group of people gather together for a common purpose.*
I ALWAYS get choked up during races ..I don't even have to be a participant. It never fails .. I didn't know that feeling had an actual definition. I thought I was a weirdo. The feeling lasts for days which is why I think I felt excited to race 7 days after the first race.The days before SheRuns I worked 14+ hours and had 4.5 hours of sleep and ran my best race since my new hip . Go figure. And yes I cried. Not because of my efforts but because of everyone else's. 🫶🏾
