The Makeover Challenge

The lockdown has me at home, needing distractions from the turmoil and angst I feel.

I tried looking at all my pending Udemy course

Did not go too far.

Tried reading non fiction books,the words were blurred. 

I decided to do mindless things. Watching movies and reading fiction made sense.

Brittany Runs a Marathon

This was one of the first few movies I watched.

A story of triumph, resilience, worthiness. 

Brittany's story is common. She is common.

Her life is a rut.

Broke, proud to ask for help. 

What she does decide to do after a much needed wake up call is change.

The thoughts and actions are relatable.

Fighting your emotional battles physically is something I have related to always

She sets out to achieve her goal. The New York City marathon seems like an overkill for a first, but then that's what goals are about right! 

The losing out on previous relationships because of your new found purpose and passion, finding new friends to support them are all sad and happy.

We see her succeeding, loving life. 

Then she falls, fails miserably. 

Allows herself to wallow in self pity again...

But since now she is in control of her life, she knows how to pick herself up again and goes back to her goals.

Her transformation is astounding. 

And real.

This time she does it, and she has all her viewers cheering for her. 

The movie is sad, funny, emotional, uplifting. 

To help you feel good in times when you need a laugh, when you need to know you are not alone.

It's not just another movie script, but based on the real life story of a friend of the Director of the movie- Britanny O'Neil 

If you are looking for marathon training tips, this is not for you.

If you want to believe you can start something and do that you have never done before, this is for you.
