#310 - What Movement Gave Us | Chris Ballard

<p><h1><strong>#310 - What Movement Gave Us | Chris Ballard</strong><h1></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><h2>Press play ▶️What happens when someone who hated running decides to give it one more try? This week on the podcast, Coach Tadris shares the story of Chris Ballard—a busy mom of five who joined Run To The Best You with one goal: complete a 5K before her 40th birthday. More than 10 years later, Chris has completed 13 half marathons, a triathlon, a duathlon, a 67-mile bike ride, long-distance hikes, and a full marathon. But her story is about much more than finish lines. It’s about discovering what’s possible when you find your people, keep showing up, and begin to see yourself differently. Today, Chris can proudly say, “I am an athlete.” Tune in to #310 - What Movement Gave Us — Chris Ballard and hear how movement, mindset, and community changed what she believed was possible. ❤️</h2></p><p><br></p><p></h3>I am Coach Tadris, founder of <a href="https://www.runtothebestyou.com/">Run To The Best You</a>.
