Summary
Dorothy Beal is a runner, a writer, and a body-positive activist who believes runners come in all shapes and sizes and that if you run, you have a runner's body. She is the founder and creator of the I Have a Runner's Body and I Run This Body movement. As a marathon runner, Dorothy believes that exercise has the power to transform your life and that one of the most significant barriers that can hold us back is our mind.

Today, you'll get motivated to start your self-love journey - whatever that may look like for you - whether it's going for a run or getting started on another goal you want to accomplish.
