Hello lovelies! :)
Went to get myself some running shoes today and asked the person helping me what their goal is for this year and they said "to run a marathon". That's 26.2 miles! I followed up with additional questions--past running experience/current training schedule/how they're feeling about it. :)
Even though I consider myself an introvert (Between 4a.m. and 6a.m. I'm chilling and just journaling/reading/quiet time), I don't have issues talking to strangers and so this didn't feel to out of my comfort zone. I may start asking people this question more often though. I usually start off with lighter questions and then go into more if they're open.
It's funny because I used to think that I was superr duper introverted but it turns out that I was just anxious in the past--so I wouldn't speak up at all and would just avoid any kind of conversation. Turns out that I enjoy connection and while I'm still introverted, I'm very social. :)
