• What growth means and how we experience it. It could be conversations with friends, a session with a therapist. It could be listening to motivational speeches, listening to a podcast, or having a conversation with a friend. It’s about self-awareness and continuing to evolve into your best and most authentic self.
• Lisa’s experience as a run-walker and her encouragement for more people like her to join in on running. “ I want them to see, I look like you too. I am like you, I come from your communities.”
• She’s running the TransRockies Run in Colorado in August and is doing the three day challenge through Google. She’ll be running her first ultra of 60 miles on the trails.
• We learn about the group, Harlem Run and why it’s a great group for strengthening the running community in Harlem.
• “The first time with Harlem Run community was just amazing, they stayed with me, I felt seen, I felt heard I felt supported and safe the whole time,” Lisa said. She shared that people there told jokes and gave advice like maybe not running in cotton socks. It was a great experience as a new runner and now is part of her every-week running training.
