Kat McDonald - See Kat Run

It’s been over 7 years since I created this page as a way to share my running journey separate from my private Facebook. Over those 7 years I have ran so many races, fell on my face attempting a huge fundraising racing event, traveled the world, started and withdrew from a coaching business, fell apart and lost my place as I experienced great loss and dealt with those losses on many levels.

Through all of that, I discovered who I truly am and my place in this world. With accepting all that I am comes the time to re-brand my page and where I am headed with my own business to help others heal.

Unfortunately, Facebook will not approve my requested name change and after multiple appeals, I see it as a sign from the universe that it’s just time to start fresh. Just as I feel like I have a fresh start in the last few years.

I hope you all can follow me on my new page and current journey. I will be closing this page within the next 30 days as I shift my focus to the new one linked below. This new page will reflect much more of who I am as a whole - a runner, an artist, an empath, an introvert, a paranormal researcher, a self-starter and a beautiful part of a vast universe.

Thank you universe, for everything. 💚

Life happens. For some of us, sticking to the running and workout routine is all we can think of when it happens. For some, we fall off and just want to exist. I was the latter after my father passed.

It been two years since he passed. Two years of a lot of change and heartache. Trust me - I didn’t just lose my dad. I lost two best friends, a job, my apartment, my identity...it was a year or so.

I fell off the running wagon. Because I lost who I was and why I was doing what I did. When you lose someone you love that is such a part of your life...it will happen. I am ready to go back. Maybe not as full force, but I am ready. Welcome to See Kat Run 2.0!!

This is how I spent my Fourth - with a wonderful friend and the peace of nature.

Finding a balance is so key. Money can always be made. I aim to be a bit tighter with my budget so I can enjoy more times like these this summer. And bring the guitar next time so it's music and nature. It's much needed for my soul.

What is your big summer soul goal?

Music is a gift my father gave me and has left with me. From the time I was little we sang together and I was encouraged to learn instruments. I started out with some piano and lots of violin. Recently I have been self teaching myself guitar. My primary instrument is my voice. A large gift from him. 💕

Tomorrow I am trading this guitar in for one better fit for me. It's a great guitar, given to me by beautiful friends after my own was stolen, but the fret board is too thick and my tiny hands are strained a lot. It hasn't fully stopped me, but certainly hindered my progress a bit. I'm excited to continue on a guitar better fit for me and to one day be able to go to open mic prepared to sing and play my own songs.

Anyone else a fellow musician? What's your instrument of choice and big goals? ✌🏼💚🎵

If you see this post - please throw a like or a comment! I am beginning to move my fit posts back here and knowing where I'm showing up now will help greatly!

Much love to everyone!!

S**t has been tough lately. Mostly by my own stubbornness to always be my own hero even when it's clear that I need some support. It's a lesson I learn over and over a few years apart each time. It's my own flaw that I recognize and work on daily.

But I am standing strong. You can take my job, my home, you can even take my money but you cannot and will not take away my drive to kick it away and move forward.

Core de Force has been amazing. Kicking, punching and push ups PLUS moving this week = stress relief AND ripped arms and Core. I can feel it.

This is my before and after from tonight's running speedwork. You can see that before I wasn't sweaty and after I am, the usual expectations. What you don't see is all what happened DURING the run.

During most runs I experience a million thoughts and some form of mini victory and transformation. Most days it's the victory in not quitting and getting it done. Some days like today - it's deeper than that.

I have bronchial asthma. That means I deal with asthma and its symptoms 24/7 - not just when I exercise. When I first started running - I needed a twice daily inhaler, the rescue inhaler during workouts and a pill. It was frustrating but as I kept training, I needed less. Until I needed my inhaler basically only once before a race and maybe once again during in certain weather.

Coming back to speedwork after injury, and this awful humidity, I needed my inhaler before and during EVERY run. Until today. Today was speedwork and I only need it BEFORE!!! That is a HUGE victory. And one you can't tell from just a photo.

These before and afters and transformations you see every Tuesday are MORE than just the appearance. They are about health and self image, diseases battled and ailments overcome. They are shared not to sell you some product - they are shared to let you know that it IS possible! That you can overcome and take what could be an excuse and turn it into your reason and your why. They are the truths that each coach has lived and is living - much more trustworthy and real than any corporate commercial.

We do this together. My small non scale victory is my coach's victory, too. With all the division our world is pushing on us that I see MANY of you giving into - why not give something positive and supportive a chance?
