Project: Break 3:00:00

I’m a 28-year-old that enjoys caring for my houseplants and dancing in my living room to terrible 90s techno music. I also love to run. My running story spans over 10 years, but in order to look toward my future goals it’s important to look back on how I got here.

The NoTQ: Thoughts from a 2:45+

“Life doesn't guarantee that hard work will equal victory. I do the work because I want to see the best that's within me. I'm humbled by where my work has taken me. I'm humbled and I'm grateful. My hope and prayer for each of you is that you choose a healthy path, dig in when it gets hard, and scream and shout when it all pays off."

The feeling of freezing before starting because a list of reasons you created in your head on why you shouldn’t. Or the feeling when someone brings up an opportunity and your head floods with hundreds of reasons why it really wouldn't work.
