When I was making my New Year's resolutions this year, I decided that I wanted to do something that would take me well out of my comfort zone and really push myself beyond what I'd always thought I was capable of: A half marathon. I had always assumed that I wouldn't be able to run as fast or with as much ease as my classmates, so I never really tried. When I was growing up my Clubfoot was a massive insecurity, so naturally I shied away from any activities that could potentially draw attention to it, which included running. If you'd told me six months ago that I had signed up for a half marathon I would have laughed in your face and told you I am not a runner.īeing born with talipes (or clubfoot as it's known more commonly) has left me with a slightly shorter left leg, a two-sizes smaller left foot, and a readymade excuse for why I avoid running like the plague.
