Run with your Heart ❤️

“When your legs 🦵🏼 can’t run anymore, run with your heart” ❤️

Running saved me in so many ways. This track from Frontier High School developed in me the perseverance, confidence, and discipline I needed and brought into my adult life.
I am so grateful for the coaches, teammates who pushed me beyond what I thought I was capable of back then. It was a moment in time, I visited especially through cancer & recovery.
The practice of GRATITUDE changes everything. In my twenties & early thirties there was very few things more anxiety relieving than tying up my ASICS and hitting the pavement or the track and RUN! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️
I would swing my legs and each heel strike would be an acknowledgement of gratefulness of the wind in my hair, the strength of my body, the speed of my stride , the Texas sun beating on my skin or the sting of the NY winter stinging my cheeks and the letting go of the chaos in my mind....

I used to think “Tracy, enjoy this moment in case one day your body disqualifies you from what your mind would want to do.” My body can still run a 5k without a problem but the consequences that follow are no longer worth it. It grieves my heart because I LOVED ❤️ it. Life is about Enjoying the Journey with all the gains and losses. So I am still running.... maybe no longer on a track but toward a deeper connection with God, an integration with myself, the desire to inspire others by being courageous and vulnerable and curiosity to keep learning & creating.
The track will always be a second home to me and I walk it now but I keep walking and that’s what counts!! What are u guys walking towards?
