Incredible, congrats! Fun to see you articulate the transition from “someone who runs” to "runner". There's probably so many similar things in life. Like people who don't think they're "good at math".
Thank you! Brains are definitely weird for thinking that "doing X thing" doesn't make you automatically "a person who does X thing". I still feel this way about triathlons, funnily enough. Even though I've done one with you (2 total!), I still don't feel like I'm a "triathloner". So maybe my next fitness goal should be restarting triathlons to overcome this mental block... :)
