@happywithmeg dear running, i don’t know when you stopped being just a way to work out and started becoming something bigger in my life, but somewhere along the way you changed how i see myself. you gave me so much confidence in myself, built slowly by showing up for myself and keeping small promises over time. that confidence didn’t stay contained to running. it bled into other parts of my life, into how i make decisions, trust my gut, and follow through even when things feel uncertain. learning that i could do hard things when no one was watching made me able to take risks, show up even on days i didn’t want to, and choose paths that felt right for me instead of just safe. you changed my relationship with my body by teaching me to trust it, and you changed my relationship with food by turning it into something supportive instead of something to control. you reminded me that my body is something to work with, not against. it’s also such an incredible feeling to be strong and fast, especially as a woman. some runs feel strong and easy, and others sucked, but you taught me that both still count and still matter. you showed me that rest isn’t failure, that discomfort isn’t always a problem, and that i don’t need to “be better every day” in order to make progress. you changed the way i treat myself and pushed me to shoot high. you make me feel free and like a bird and one with nature and the sky and clouds and sun and it’s all so perfect. you also introduced me to some of the most incredible people. friendships, conversations, and connections i never would have found otherwise. people who are determined, show up, encourage loudly, and remind me that this sport is about so much more than just running. i’m deeply grateful for the platform and community that came from this, and for the chance to share this sport with people who see themselves in it too. love, meg🌟 shot by @alexandercobian.xyz
