I never liked running. I used to hate it, actually.
But somehow… I ended up joining a 7.5 km race in Amsterdam.
This video isn’t just about the race, it’s about resilience.
About showing up, even when you don’t feel ready.
About growing beyond your comfort zone and realizing you’re stronger than you think.
