Alison Schrag: Racing Life and Pushing Limits Toward Success
Alison Schrag believes that the starting line arrives quietly, often as a choice that looks ordinary at first. You lace your goals like shoes, tug once more at the knot, and scan the track ahead. The crowd is daily life, busy and loud, cheering and distracting in the same breath. Your first strides feel light, almost playful, as if progress will always be this simple. Then the grade changes. A small hill appears. Your breath shortens, the rhythm gets messy, and whispers of doubt begin to circle. The race becomes real, not a poster on a wall but a living test of patience, love of craft, and staying power.
