#9 5k Every Day: Run Your Life in the Body You Have with Sandra Mikulic

Sandra Mikulic has completed five marathons and two 50Ks. She works full-time, is a mom of four, and self-publishes her magazine, Run Your Life. Sandra shares her journey of running a 5K EVERY day since January 2019, highlighting the transformative power of running and the importance of showing up for oneself.

You’ll also hear about:

• Insights into Sandra's struggles with self-worth, societal expectations, and changing her self-perception through running.
• The concept of every action being a vote for the person you want to become, inspired by James Clear's Atomic Habits.
• How to maintain a consistent running streak no matter what.
• Handling trolls on social media and not letting others' opinions dictate self-worth.
• Sandra's ongoing challenges of self-doubt (new level, new devil). 
• Encouragement for listeners to create their own rules, trust themselves, and embrace individual journeys.

Favorite quotes: 

 

If you create your own boundaries to be limitless, that’s exactly what you’ll follow.

 

The more I showed up, the softer the naysayer’s voice got.

 

Every 5k was a contradiction of who I was and how I felt. 

 

There needs to be one thing that you can stick to every day.

 

What other people think of us is none of our business. 

 

We don’t need to wait for a better body to do anything.
