Yesterday I saw this video of an 80 year old woman finishing the Iron man. It took her 16 hours.
It brought me to tears.
Every single person there applauded and supported her. The communitty is amazing.
As a person who is used to doing things alone I just feel this intense need to completly shut off when I'm running or racing. It translates into my everyday life too. I'm so afraid of needing someone, so afraid of getting rejected...
But that video moved me. It's so impressive what that lady acomplished. And I just want to lose some of my shame and fear when it comes to running community.
I always feel like an imposter and it's holding me back from enjoying the amazing community.
