    Talk about Sunday Funday! Grace I've been a runner for 25 years and the thing about marathons of any kind is that they aren't about breaking boundaries that you thought you could never smash. They're about discovering that those boundaries were never there in the first place. When you realize this, you can apply the lesson to anything!

      Awhhh, good luck!!! ✨ I’m hopefully started my nursing education next year (27) and I feel like I’m starting so late considering most friends are graduated with degrees by now.
      But seeing other people crushin it and doing it is such an inspiration!! If you’re a fan of grack, I’m sure you’ll make a wonderful nurse! Congrats!

    Currently training for my 14th marathon, and only ever peed on course once. They have portatoilets on route for when runners need a pit stop. If you go before the race, you can usually make it without a stop as you sweat out the liquid.

    7:36 🥰My friend and her sister founded that brand! This makes me so happy to see you and your sister like this particlar brand. I guess it makes me really happy because as teenagers in Sweden, we once, late at night, spoke about things we dreamed of that we hadn’t shared with anyone else, and she said she wanted to be her own boss (at the time she worked as a waitress). I wanted to get into law school (didn’t get in at first try, but got my grades in order to compete for a spot at least). *People, if you have a dream truly go for it!* 💕

    Let me have a bit of an overshare moment here. So. I had a job where I was sitting. All day. Everyday.
    Because Im a chubby girl, everyone thought (including myself) Im just lazy and Im in a shape I am because I dont move my ass ever.
    I started a new job about 1.5 years ago, where I have 20-25K steps every day, moving heavy objects, doing squats and all that physical activity all the time. Didnt lost a pound, let me add. :D I look just the same as I did when I was sitting all day. But now everyone thinks I am just an energybomb who cant stop and just happens to be a round shape on Earth.
    How interesting. And I did not changed at all. Im just.. me.
    Congrats on your 33K steps btw, I hope you enjoyed every single one of them :)

    You should have a look into the Thames Path - it's a walk that, you guessed it, goes along the Thames, so it goes a fair old stretch. You might be able to even pick it up close to home and walk into London, depending where you live. Worth a look into though :)
