Oh this was simply amazing to read, Alexandra! You are one inspirational person!! So many things struck me and this includes when you said "I’ve learned how hard I am on myself and how to be kinder." I love, love how you listen to your body. These are just two of MANY takeaways. I am sidelined for 6 weeks (down to 5 weeks and a day, but who's counting?! and it's not for a running issue:)) I think I will return to your story at times to keep me motivated. These stories are simply the best!!!

These "stories" have become my favorite part of The Half Marathoner. Congrats Alexandra on what sounds like a wonderful running journey that you are truly enjoying, and for sharing it with us. "Failing kindergarten" is one I've never heard before; I'm still on the floor laughing (but not at you! 😊 )

Thanks Terrell! It was so fun to reflect on these questions. One small thing - I failed gym class in kindergarten, not the whole grade 😅 (equally scarring maybe?). Looking forward to seeing profiles of the rest of the community. :)
