i have always despised running.
running 10 minutes without stopping
was a miracle.
but a month ago i decided to keep
going and i reached 20.
it was odd achieving something i
thought was impossible.
it felt good.
so after that, i kept running.
and now i can run for 30.
every run is a celebration.
and every celebration must be
recorded and remembered.
my post-run selfie is my favorite ritual.
its sweaty and messy but i feel
beautiful.
and it is hard for me to feel beautiful.
i never thought that running would
heal me.
but running has become a reminder
from myself to myself of the wonderful
things that i am capable of doing.
so i will keep on running
