“They are totally different kinds of hard. As a mom, I can get help, share responsibility with my husband, enlist the help of grandmas and friends. That’s not to say it isn’t hard—because, holy moly, it’s hard!—but it can be shared. To truly be your best in running, you can’t outsource much, if anything. It’s all on you. Even if you have a coach, nobody else can do your training. Nobody else can sleep for you. Nobody else can refuel. Nobody else can set your goals. Nobody else can run the race. This realization hit me just the other day as I was planning for the upcoming year and strategizing my support crew to help with the various parts of my life: motherhood, running, and Picky Bars. Running was the one where I went, ‘Oh shit, that’s all me.”

“If happiness is acquired, joy is bestowed. If happiness is a result of exertion, joy is a consequence of peace. If happiness is in what you do, joy is inherent in who you are. If happiness is an absence of pain or discomfort, joy is in its acceptance and integration. If happy happens when, joy exists in perpetuity behind the scenes.”
