what i have learned
/
Three things I have learned {so far} while training for the NYC Marathon
- Sleep is really important {and I don’t get enough of it}
- If I do not eat regularly throughout the day I will be ravenous {and you do not want to see me when I’m hungry. Just ask Dustin}
- I will never regret pushing yourself out the door to run {although I will fight with myself hardcore until I take that first step}
Training is a journey. I will not be able to wake up tomorrow and run 26.2 miles. I will need to work up it. I show up, day after day pushing myself a little bit further each time. I have gotten stronger mentally and physically.
I am learning how take care of my body and listen to what it needs. I am treating it kindly with more sleep. Eating more veggies and eating more often. I am not giving up, even when I may want to.
The best part is, I can see and feel the pay off. I believe in myself. I am willing to taking the risk. I know what I want, and I am going after it. It feels so good!
