MY BADASS RUNNING BUDDIES: AMANDA
One of the best things about being in online business is that you meet people from all over the world. Some of my best friends now are people who I have met online - and some I have never even met in person before! But, we have a connection - whether it’s online business or running - that we’ve bonded over and have become great friends because of that connection!Amanda is one of those people! We met technically as coworkers - we were both working as virtual assistants for the same online business coach. We started chatting more on messenger and our friendship blossomed! Now, we team up on multiple projects (Amanda is a SUPER talented graphic designer) together and basically vent to each other on a daily basis! She has been so much fun getting to know and eventually we WILL meet in person!Oh, and I forgot to mention, she’s a RUNNER too! We are already planning a running date when we meet up… someday!Meet the AMAZING Amanda below, and be sure to join the Badass Running Buddies Community to meet more of my AMAZING running buddies, and become one yourself!

I’m hoping to do that again at some point!What advice can you give to someone who is just starting their running journey? Don’t compare your abilities to anyone else, including a previous version of yourself. Just put your shoes on, get outside and go. Whether you run for 5 minutes or 5 hours, you’re still a runner. :)
