## Caption

“I don’t fit the standards of a regular runner. People put things in your mind that you have to be a certain way. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could accomplish this. At the beginning, I could barely run a mile. Every week, I reminded myself: it’s okay to walk. It’s okay to jog. That’s how you get better. That’s what makes you go after your next run.”
