One Year Running Anniversary Reflection

[@wurlyone4685]

Everyone develops at different rates and can achieve different 'ultimate' levels, in everything we do - we're all different! So as you say, comparison with others isn't particularly relevant, or positive. Comparison with yourself (previous levels of performance etc.) and being able to maintain enjoyment through any progress, is the key. And as you also say, you've come a long way and look absolutely glowing on it - so reflect, enjoy and celebrate that. I'm not a runner, but enjoy hearing your thoughts and seeing your progress. Came for the poetry (which by the way is still truly fabulous and new instalments missed!) stayed for the Sarah that shines through and her further thoughts.

This is what I needed to hear this morning! I just finished a half marathon and shaved 1 minute off my previous half. I was so busy having fun on the course hugging friends and supporters that I know that I could have had a faster finishing time if I hadn’t did that. I got all in my head with the numbers instead of realizing that a year ago I could barely run a 5K. I had fun moving my body comfortably for 13.1 miles and still had a PR. I enjoy running!

That sounds like such a fun race! Yes! We have to remember how far we’ve come! And you know that if you decide to just focus on the race you’ll shave even more time off! Congratulations!

hey! what happened to your spoken poetry series? have you fallen out of love with poetry? I'm sure a lot of people including myself want to see them back

[@SarahLUnfiltered]

Hi! Thanks but I didn’t know that it would attract so many artists wanting to use my poetry in their songs. I’m all over their SoundCloud, Spotify and TikToks without my permission and it just got frustrating. So it made me stop wanting to share it on here.

[@cor09]

I see, I hope you get the credit you deserve. Thank you for sharing
