In 2013, I realized how much I love running. It was the
first year in four years that I did not run a full marathon. I ran this year,
but not as much of “racing”. I really missed the discipline and challenge of
the full marathon. They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder.
The marathon presents a couple of challenges:
- 18 weeks of training
- Blisters and other ailments
- Time away from your family
- A physical challenge
- A severe mental challenge
Believe it or not, the opportunities outweigh any
challenges! Here are just a few:
- You find out more about yourself
- Better fitness
- Mental toughness
- You learn more songs*
- You lose weight
- You “feel” great
- You celebrate with friends and family
*During mile 20-26.2, I have my friends suggest songs and I
their songs to think of them and battle through the tough miles. It’s so much
fun!!!!
Marathon: We will be getting acquainted again in 2014!
