Marathon training will test your discipline, but don’t forget to enjoy the ride along the way.
Two weeks out from the Marine Corps Marathon, today’s schedule called for 14 miles. Mid-route, I ran right into the Every B**b Counts 5K. Rather than running past the energy, I jumped in, pushed the pace, and took 2nd place in my age group.
The highlight wasn’t the podium—it was catching up with longtime friend and event powerhouse Stacey Garbowit, supporting an incredible cause, and reminding myself why we do this. Knocked out the remaining miles to hit the full 14-mile target.
Fitness is banked. Marine Corps Marathon is locked and loaded. Enjoy the process.
