Ep28| It Started With 3.1 Miles

I never set out to create an annual Virtual 5K.I was recovering from a total ankle replacement and wanted one big goal: walk 3.1 miles.That first 5K took me about 4½ hours. I stopped. I rested. I started again. And at the end, my friend had drawn me a finish line in sidewalk chalk.I crossed it.What started as something I needed to help me feel strong slowly became something my community wanted to do with me—and eventually something we could use to help other people too.In Episode 28, I'm sharing the story behind the Embrace Your Personal Journey Virtual 5K, how it has evolved over three years, and why this year's event supporting MDS Blood Cancer Awareness is especially personal to me.Through all the changes in Bodies by DeZine, this is the thing I keep coming back to.And I think I'm finally understanding why.🎵 Music featured in the intro and outro courtesy of Treaty of Tripoli.#TheGRITToftheMatter #BodiesByDezine #EmbraceYourPersonalJourney #RealLifeStrength
