5K Every Day: Run Your Life in the Body You Have

I was recently a guest on the Plucky Not Perfect podcast, where I spoke about completing five marathons and two 50Ks, working full-time, being a mom of four, and self-publishing my magazine, Run Your Life. I shared my journey of running a 5K EVERY day since January 2019, highlighting the transformative power of running and the importance of showing up for oneself.

In the podcast, you’ll also hear about:

• Insights into Sandra's struggles with self-worth, societal expectations, and changing her self-perception through running.

• The concept of every action being a vote for the person you want to become, inspired by James Clear's Atomic Habits.

• How to maintain a consistent running streak no matter what.

• Handling trolls on social media and not letting others' opinions dictate self-worth.

• Sandra's ongoing challenges of self-doubt (new level, new devil). 

• Encouragement for listeners to create their own rules, trust themselves, and embrace individual journeys.

Favorite quotes:

• If you create your own boundaries to be limitless, that’s exactly what you’ll follow.

• The more I showed up, the softer the naysayer’s voice got.

• Every 5k was a contradiction of who I was and how I felt.

• There needs to be one thing that you can stick to every day.

• What other people think of us is none of our business.

• We don’t need to wait for a better body to do anything.
