My running shoes are looking a bit worse for the wear after several years of use.

After being sedentary for most of my adult life, I developed the habit of jogging in the summer of 2021. I did so after learning about the concept of 'showing up' in a motivational video. Showing up to me means to make some sort of positive effort every day and not beat myself up when the short-term results aren't astronomical.

These sneakers did not wear out after a single day of running. They changed gradually and consistently, one step at a time.
