Who is excited? I'm excited. I'm feeling pretty damn happy right now, my friends, because things are going

really well, like really, really well. Oh yeah, just call me Kelly Slaytor. Because training's, oh my God god it's going so well I've been making that joke all day and

it's I don't even think it's funny anymore that's how many times I've done it and maybe it wasn't

even funny to begin with I don't know hi everybody welcome to the run selfie repeat podcast

where we talk about life with the side of running.

I am Kelly Roberts, not Kelly Slater. And today, today's a big episode. If you're looking for

a pep talk or if you're trying to figure out how to pull yourself out of a rut, I have got you.

But before we do that, a quick reminder

that this episode is sponsored by the world's greatest website hosting platform that makes dreams

come true. It's Squarespace. What's a website hosting platform you ask? Well, say you have a great

idea for a business or a blog, or you're getting married and you need to create a website or maybe you have

this like e-commerce stuff and you want to sell or maybe you want to start a podcast and you're like how do I make a website that doesn't make me cringe? I'm not really good with computers or tech or and I don't really like understand how to code. Well you go to squarespace.com and then you use offer code Kelly, K-E-L-L-O-Y, and then you save 10% on your purchase of your personal domain address,

like, I am the coolest. you go to Squarespace.com and then you use offer code Kelly, K-E-L-L-O-Y, and then you save 10% on your

purchase of your personal domain address like I am the coolest mf.com. Don't make that website.

Whatever you do, don't make that website. Yeah, you get your personal domain address and then you get

this whole platform that has these templates that are easy to use and everything's done for you and you just alter it to make it your own. It is the greatest. Squarespace, I don't just say that because they sponsor this. I say that because I've used it for almost four or five years now. I think it's almost five years. And I'm not kidding. Had I not have started my blog and podcast on Squarespace, I would not be doing what I'm doing. I'd probably still be a receptionist. So Squarespace is the best. Offer code Kelly, K-E-L-L-O-Y, saved up 10%. Take a chance on yourself. Seriously, use your voice. Yes, start a website. Do it, do it, do it. Do it, do it. Do it. Squarespace, rocks. All right. Yes, I can. That's what we're talking about today. Because here's the thing. Two steps forward, one step back. One step forward, five steps back. You're running in place. You're running in place. You're running in place. A year goes by, you're still running in place, and then you're kind of taking baby steps, and then you take one step forward, and then 10 steps back. That is my experience of being a runner. Like, that is what it is like. It is a series of steps forward, and then a bajillion steps back, and then I'm wondering, I'm not even at the bottom of the mountain. I am ten mountains back.

But this week... million steps back and then I'm wondering, I'm not even at the bottom of the mountain. I am 10

mountains back. But this week, this week has been rocking. I mean, we're talking steps and

steps and steps forward, which is just, I don't even remember the last time I had a week like

this. And here's the only thing I can think of that has helped me make it happen.

It has been a constant deliberate effort to not only believe in myself, but focus on the positives.

Getting started is really hard. And I think it's important to note that even though I'm getting
