““We’ve got a motto here: You’re tougher than you think you are, and you can do more than you think you can… You don’t have to be fast. But you’d better be fearless.”
— Christopher McDougall, Born to Run (via runningonsmoothies)
One day you’re struggling to run 1 mile without stopping, and the next you find yourself finishing a nonstop 6 mile run. Life’s weird. Progress is a beautiful thing. And change can happen.
“You have to stop thinking you’ll be stuck in your situation forever. We feel like our heart will never heal or we’ll never get out of this impossible struggle. don’t confuse a season for a lifetime. Even your trials have an expiration date. You will grow, life will change, and things will work out.”
— Brittney Moss (via purplebuddhaquotes)
