This week on GenX Journeys, I’m officially hitting the pavement—again.
After months of knowing it was coming, I finally pulled the trigger and signed up for the 50th Marine Corps Marathon. But here’s the thing: even though I knew I was going to do it, something shifted the moment I actually signed up. That one action sparked a wave of motivation, momentum, and commitment I hadn’t felt in a while.
In this episode, I talk about:
Why physically signing up or speaking your goals out loud creates a powerful mental shift
How small steps like Day 1 of the Couch to 10K plan can reignite your fire
What it felt like to return to the Boston Marathon as a spectator for the 4th year in a row
Shoutouts to my amazing friends Kerri Nelson and Maurice Lowman, who crossed the Boston finish line this year like absolute champs
And how seeing people of all backgrounds and abilities out there reminded me what resilience and reinvention really look like
Whether you’re chasing a marathon, a creative dream, or a comeback in your life—it all starts with one decision. This episode is your reminder to stop waiting and start moving.
