Immediately following the Disney marathon in January, I signed up for marathon #2. I was ready. I was excited, and I was determined to not let anything/anyone get in the way of that (been there done that). Unfortunately, we all know the phrase "easier said than done." But with some time and a total re-transformation of how I live my life, here I am...ready to run the Columbus marathon. Oh, I think I failed to mention that...ummm I haven't trained :/
Originally, I was going to skip the race altogether but then came to truly realize that you have got to set yourself to a goal and do whatever it takes to get there because what you struggle with (and push through) along the way will only make you stronger. Well, with the race a mere month away (October 18th), I've decided to grit my teeth, train as much as I can up until then, and RUN THE MARATHON! My body will ache, my feet will be blistered and I will probably want to curse the ground I walk on when I attempt a 26.2 mile run without proper training, but I REFUSE to let these struggles of mine effect me. I know I can do this! It's mind over matter and ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER!
Anyone can give up. It's the easiest thing in the world to do, but to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart...now, that's true strength.
