Summary

I'M BACK!!!! The return of the Run, Selfie, Repeat podcast is here! Enjoy new short, weekly pep talks and the occasional interview every Wednesday here on the Run, Selfie, Repeat podcast.

Today, I want to talk about something I'm hearing from a lot of my athletes and if I'm being honest, that I said for the first time out loud yesterday. "I don't think I can do this." That terrible, awful feeling that everything you're doing won't be enough. So let's talk about what to do if you're rumbling with doubt and fear of failure.

Oh I'm nervous. Hi. Hi everybody. It's me. It's Kelly. Welcome to the Run Self-European

0:12.5

Podcast. We're officially back. That means every single Wednesday you will awake,

0:20.6

awaken? You will wake up. We're gonna say that because I don't know how to, I don't

0:24.6

know how to use the other word. You're gonna wake up to a new episode of this podcast.

0:29.6

It's been a while. It's been a minute. I, a lot has happened in my life. A lot has changed.

0:36.4

I've changed. You've changed. You're different. Oh wow. I'm not even going to give you some

0:42.1

sun time. Is that a sun time? Into the woods of sun time, yeah. I don't know. I'm not a

0:45.8

sun-hime girly, but that's not what's beside the point. I'm already getting off topic.

0:49.9

You're probably understanding why we stopped this podcast because I can't, I can't not commit

0:55.7

to one train of thought. I've missed this. I can't tell you how many runs and rides I've

1:19.7

a move. The outline is done and the next couple of weeks of stuff are outlined. I used to

1:27.3

script these podcasts. They used to genuinely be verbatim word-for-word scripted and I would

1:32.8

have tangents here and there, but for the most part they were scripted. This one is not, but

1:37.8

I do have an outline and I do know what I want to talk about today, but before we get into it,

1:42.0

I just want to update you on where I am. The baddest lady gang is a thing. What I

1:49.1

launched this podcast, I couldn't have dreamed where I would be today. We have the baddest lady gang.

1:56.0

I am the head coach of the baddest lady gang. I'm a running coach. I coach hundreds of women
