The drive to attempt the impossible is deeply embedded in the human psyche. What you consider to be impossible depends on your life experience. For the rare few, it could be a monumental feat like charting a new course across a continent. For many of us – living busy, mundane lives – something as simple as running for 10 minutes feels just as hard.
When we do something we never believed possible, the feeling of achievement is incredible. It takes real courage to overcome years of selfdoubt, and sadly that means many women only discover the unbridled joy of finding out they can run relatively late in life.
