I just want to say that training for a marathon has been the most challenging thing I've ever done. I've come inches away from quitting on many occasions, but have now recommitted to running my first marathon in three weeks. Wish me luck...I'm going to need it.
I need to remember these three things:
If running were easy, everyone would be doing it.
You can have anything you want, if you want it badly enough.
It's not called a walk in the park, it's a marathon. It's not supposed to be easy.
