Guys. I cannot wait for the race on Saturday to be over.
I’m not sure what that means. I guess it means that I am ready to move on from the hot mess of marathon training. Yep, I’m the Tara Reid of marathoners.
At the same time, I’m a little sad that it’s all over.
I KNOW. What?
Does that ever happen to you? I mean, I’m not enjoying marathon training this time around, so this sadness is sort of surprising. I’m damn proud of myself, though, for sticking it out. I did all my double digit runs SOLO. Can’t believe I did that.
Today, though, I couldn’t believe how hard a 2-mile run felt on the treadmill. It went really slowly. Yeah, okay, I didn’t enjoy it. I started to think about how I’d have 2 plus 24 more, but I snapped myself out of it.
Afterward, I got the mail and in it was my new Believe Training Journal by Lauren Fleshman and Roisin McGettigan-Dumas. And I got even more excited for this marathon to come and go because I want to tackle a scary goal.
I don’t know if I’m ready to share it yet. I may want to keep it close for a while. But I will say this…
It’s NOT another marathon.

Oh girl. I understand 110%!!! I’m in marathon training #5 and I feel like I’m up and down between hating what I’m doing loving it. But, I think when it’s all said and done we will be insanely proud of ourselves for sticking it out! I’ve set a lofty goal for myself this time and it’s scary. I have the Believe journal. You will LOVE it. The words on those pages have helped me push harder and harder. Can’t wait to read your marathon recap!!!
Number 5?! You crazy. Lol. Thank you for this, though. And good luck on your training! I hope you crush it!
