Dear Running:
I have a love-hate relationship with you. One day you make me feel like I’m living on cloud nine and the next you make me feel like I have completely failed at life. No matter how you make me feel, giving up isn’t an option. As I begin to start tapering for the NY Marathon in two weeks, I remind myself why I started this relationship with you back in 2011. This journey began because you have given me clarity, confidence, and courage to continue to be the BEST version of myself as a wife and mother. For the past few months, this NY marathon training block hasn’t gone as planned. Honestly, I tried to come up with every excuse to NOT run this race but my body isn’t injured, and I can definitely make it to the finish line. So, that’s what I’m going to do.
