Congrats Natasha! I always struggled with the math section of every standardized test I took, even though I pursued engineering in undergrad, so this definitely resonates. In the startup world, I always hear how important goal setting is (or OKRs or KPIs or whatever you want to call them) but setting goals versus holding yourself accountable to those goals are two completely different things. Especially for those solo challenges when you don't have someone to keep you accountable! Thanks for sharing your health goals reached, and for being the accountabilibuddy for my Peloton ride today 😊
Congrats! As someone who swore they were never built for running (legs too short, boobs too big) and hated those numbers, I now love tracking those miles and have 3 marathons under my belt. I loved that feeling of finishing a race and pushing through mentally and physically. My new goal now is hit to certain numbers with consistency every month to keep my head in a good place rather than finish a race, but I never would have got there unless I did my first race.
responding to this comment wayyy too late, but nonetheless so thankful that you took the time to write this: love the idea of stretching the goal beyond finishing a race.
I was between 95-100kg, when I hit my first 5K. Now I’m 65kg and running is a part of me.
so proud of you!
