THE LONG RUN

​

Keep Moving Forward & Transform Through Life

TRANSFORMATIONAL THOUGHTS:

Hello Reader,

Many of you know that I chose "transformation" as my word for 2024.

We have 16 days left in 2024. Before the end of this year, I will share more on the concept of "word of the year" and how it can apply to you, your running and your life.

This concept is more than a New Year resolution - the word serves as a daily reminder to embody and bring to life.

"Embodiment is the necessary leap your word has to take to go from your mind to your life." You have to take action.

This week, I'm sharing two examples of strong women transforming:

When I saw the movie "Wicked", the song "Defying Gravity" really resonated with me. It marked a major turning point and transformation for the main character, Elphaba. It seemed as if she literally transformed during the song, as she embraced her identity and powers.

Last week on Monday Night Football, there was an incredible story that wasn't about the game. Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Armani Latimer is 26 years old, and was diagnosed with alopecia areata when she was just 12 years old. She is now in her third season of cheering with the Cowboys, and has always worn a wig.

This week, she chose a transformation as she courageously made the decision to perform without her wig.

"I always knew that I wanted to eventually dance in some capacity without my wig, just to make [alopecia] not a stigma anymore," Latimer said. "I just wanted to take it a step further, wanted to get the conversation out there a little more, and I thought, well, what better way than to go out on the field and just show the world who I am?" - Armani Latimer

​

If you have chosen a word for 2024, I'm challenging you for the next 16 days to embody your word. If you didn't have a word for this year, there is still time for you to accomplish something for you or someone else before the end of the year.

Go out for a walk/run when you don't feel like it. Look at the race calendar and pick something for next year. Do some strength training that's a little more challenging than what you've done in the past. Ask someone to walk with you, volunteer, help around the house.

Don't just think about it, make it happen, and let me know about it.

Keep moving forward my friends, one step at a time.

TEASER - REVEALED!

Last week, I posted this teaser, and said I would share more:

I'm super excited and proud to share the podcast episode I did several weeks ago with Selene Yeager, of HIT PLAY NOT PAUSE:

If you want to see the slides I'm presenting, the YouTube version is ideal and you can click here:

Early this fall, I put together a workshop course to share information about the "fascia" - the connective tissues all of us have in our bodies that often contribute to stiffness and soreness.

I firmly (get it? tissues? firm?) believe that if we intentionally keep ourselves mobile and work on these tissues daily, most of us will feel a world of difference.

Perhaps it's a good time to TRANSFORM your mobility??

I feel SO passionate about helping people to get their bodies moving and I'm more than happy to answer any questions - hit reply and let me know how I can help!

"It's Not A Moment. It's A Movment." - Feisty Media

This week on TMTD, I shared the history of the Feisty Media group, and how I became connected with them. If you want the longer/more vulnerable version, you can check it out here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dTern4IyF88mjtTTJ6NCbMeDscN5CUUA_mno3O4HcX4/edit?usp=sharing​

They have inspired me to make some big changes for 2025, and I can't thank them enough!
