Connect and Rise with MJ Smith, 48 time half marathoner, Military Officer in the US Air Force, mom and Founder of Temple Running. MJ shares her running journey and how running has given her the mental toolkit to "dig deep and get it done" in times of struggle or challenge. MJ also reminds us to run our own race both on the pavement and in life. When we compare ourselves to others we are not using our energy productively. Instead, we should shift that energy into the constant improvement of ourselves. No matter where you are in your life journey or your running journey, keep going, keep challenging yourself, and don’t forget to be kind to yourself also.
