Not that long ago, running a marathon (at least in my mind) was reserved for those I considered “real” runners—the genetically blessed, hyper-disciplined ones who collected shiny medals and enjoyed waking up at 5am. Me? I couldn’t even make it through a single song without giving up, let alone going for hours and calling that “fun.” Then, I turned 25.
