Know the difference between pushing and forcing. It takes strength to change and get outside of your comfort zone. But it takes persistence and a hunger to thrive to get the overall results you're seeking. I met these strong women through midnight party rides to track bike races and have to say we have been through ups and downs over the past 7 years. Sometimes we quit, get injured, or pursue other passions, but we keep returning to the sport and love of cycling. Setbacks happen and it's acknowledging what happened, staying aware, taking action, and asking for help when you need it. While you can't force results you definitely can get an army behind you helping push forward. As I heal and strengthen from this injury I found supporting my friends in many ways, cycling or not, to give me the strength to improve physically and mentally. May we be mindful of those we help and have helped us as we reflect on what we are thankful for this Thanksgiving and push onward to a higher level. . . . . . #TeamNonstop #WCW #fitnessmotivation #womenscycling #womenwhocycle #womenwhoride #cyclelikeagirl #shredit #crossishere #crossisBoss #womensracing #cx #cyclocross (at Dirty.Bae) https://www.instagram.com/smaishketchum/p/BqdLNT9FzRp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1npubvyldog6p
