Oh hell yes!
I’m going to be crazy honest and go all epic for a sec. I have running goals, for sure, but my EPIC would be to make my business successful enough to franchise off, and make it the best of its kind. Anywhere. If I fall short, so what? It would totally be enough if I can do what I love and live off it.
My running idea of epic right now would be to get sub-4 in my first marathon in May. It’s a long shot, but doable. There’s a chance I could blow up and finish an hour later but I certainly am going to try. After that I can redefine my epic. Maybe I can think about something other than my running goals. 🙂
I love this post :). My running epic right now is a sub-20 5K, I am working hard on it. My PR is 22:03. I know 2 minutes is a lot to take off, but I feel like with a few more months of running, training through the summer, and speedwork, it is very possible. If I fall short I fall short, over the past 3 years I have improved my time by over 10 minutes so that says a lot!
I love everything about this post because not only is it relatable to running but all of life!!!
My running goals – run a 100 mile race (finish it!) and run a marathon (to race it!!). So far I’ve fallen short of both of those more than once due to injury or illness but it will happen!!!
Now, I need to work on some nonrunning goals and get moving!!!
This is such an inspiring post 🙂 Having learnt first hand how much negative beliefs / fear can hold me back, with running and more generally, I like this addition of shooting for epic. I’m not sure I’m quite able to jump to that yet, but I will be thinking it over!
I really want to become a runner! I love the idea of shooting for epic, and this could really be applied to so many aspects of life. I’m going to apply it to fitness and maybe starting on my goal of learning to run for real.
I think my epic would be running a full marathon. I have no immediate plans to run a full and after every half I always say no way can I do a full but the thought of a full always climbs back in to my head eventually. Apparently since I think about it, I must want to do it on some level. I will have to be in the right frame of mind to actually sign up for one and then crossing that finish line with be EPIC!!!
Ohhhhhh I love this and of course I love the new art!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Epic would be a full blow Iron man/woman. It is too big to get my head around now but it’s on my list just probably a decade away. Got to master the darn bike first!
Epic is relative too. I mean I will never run at the olympics but every new record I set for myself feels epic to me :=)
Good luck with your EPIC. I know it will be an amazing success and you have so many supporters and Cait lovers here is Oz – you are already international – Now THAT is EPIC!!!!
thanks!! oh yea, daaaang, i’m pretty sure i would drown in the swim portion and wind up roadkill on the biking. 😉 jk. so i’ll cheer for u when that day comes!!
okay, can i just say having you a part of the upcoming *hopefully* epic project under IS epic! 🙂 hehe
Epic will be when I can do my 2.5 hr trail run again with my running buddies. Almost there…setting goals with a new perspective after foot surgery. Every minute on the trails is awesome to me now. Thanks, my running buddy just sent me the link to your site and I LOVE it. You are Epic!
you WILL get right back to those EPIC trail runs!! you stay positive after that foot surgery, and u’ve got the dang-perfect perspective for it!! keep moving forward, i’m cheering for you. 🙂

Love the idea of running epic. I’m going for it!
“It would totally be enough if I can do what I love and live off it.” motto for life, right there!!
