Summary
Grit, a personality trait wherein a badass demonstrates passion and perseverance toward a goal (or just life in general because life is hard) despite being confronted by significant obstacles and distractions.
This week, I was being interviewed for an upcoming campaign and I sat in a room with a production team, talking about how running changed the way I see myself and what I'm capable of, I kept coming back to grit. Because it wasn't until I started running that I learned why I couldn't run from my problems, I had to lean into the discomfort. But running taught me that even when something feels impossible or insurmountable, if you can find the patience to keep fighting, you'll learn what it means to live your life purposefully. And that gift will change your life.
