What motivates and inspires me to run is to show that we can all do something small in our daily practice to start our day in our own space. For me, that’s running. I always say “keep showing up”. To me, that means staying consistent with our daily practice, plus it’s the perfect reminder that showing up is enough. The motivation has shifted to that daily practice of having that sacred time and space for myself.

I have continued to run with Team Thrive because they embody the same philosophy I have —That through running, we can create a positive community. We can use this space to help others find what brings them joy. Running has opened many doors for me, allowing me to have awesome experiences, and now, I love running for something bigger than me. Team Thrive & Hope for the Day has a goal that is larger than ourselves; it allows us to have a deeper connection with what we are doing, and being a part of this organization has provided that for me.
