The Anatomy of a DNF | Kim & Carolyn

Today we discuss a subject that’s not talked about nearly enough….the DNF (did not finish). We start by sharing about our most recent DNFs which happened for entirely different reasons. Then we explore:Other reasons why a DNF might happenHow much dwelling on it is productiveWhy processing your feelings is importantHow to mine for any hidden lessonsWhat we mean by “little quits” and what to do if they become a patternHow to move on from a DNF and even help others in the processWhy forgiving yourself is key We hope this episode is informative & instructive, and for anyone who has experienced a DNF or disappointing race in their running career, we also hope it makes you feel less alone.
