- I'm still reading through your comments about fuel, mantras and hydration during the marathon. Some EXCELLENT advice there. I'm loving so much of it. One that I keep telling myself today is the mantra from Maia from Reasons 2 Run: "You've trained for this". And Britt's words have really stuck with me too:
Your legs are ready for this! You could run a 3:15 in your sleep! You told me something before my last half that really inspired me, to "just enjoy being fast". BEST ADVICE EVER! At my race on Saturday I kept telling myself when the race felt difficult to "define myself". Weird, yes. But it made me make the choice to define myself as a runner who pushes through discomfort rather then throwing in the towel.
I am really excited for you. This is going to be an amazing experience and return to marathoning for you. And to know that you have your little ones there to cheer you on, now that is heart warming!

- All of the advice and comments on this last post are worth reading through if you have a marathon or race coming up! Some great words of wisdom and encouragement!
- I'm really thankful that my "vent" or processing of thoughts last night was well received. Thankful for your stories and words of understanding. I'm now focused on what I should have been focusing on all along...my Saturday Marathon!
- During quiet time with my daughter today, we will be tapping into our creative energy and digging up some pre marathon mojo by doing a little marathon vision collage art in our Journals! :)
Thanks again for all your support! Happy Wednesday! How will you "Define Yourself" today?
