Happy Hump Day Everyone! When life gives you lemons make the best damn lemonade that you can make! This week has been really rough not being able to run that much, however I am grateful that I was able to run, and that I am hopefully on the mend! My goal for the marathon (even though I am competitive) has always just been to finish. Even though I have competed at high levels, it doesn’t make me advanced in the marathon. I have to treat myself like I am a novice, because endurance training of 10+ miles for one run is new to my body. So for right now I will be patient, believe that everything will be okay, and I will be back to running soon enough.
