Marathon Mark

Love this so much. The garden helps with this.

Wasn't planning on doing this race. But when Mark and I got to the expo they a few half marathon spots left.
What the heck. I was there. Why not?!
Finished a few minutes faster than last year. Set a new best time, walking all but a few downhills. The race family showed up and showed out! A couple ran the Full marathon. Most of us ran the half marathon. And few did double races. 5k Saturday. Marathon Sunday.
Prefect beautiful day to Run to Remember.
My kiddo on the last of mile 26 making it look easy peasy.

You have a few options when life gets hard;
When the race feels too difficult,
And when you can’t see the end.

One option is to give up;
Believe you don’t have what it takes;
Believe you weren’t made to endure these sorts of things.

Or the other option- BELIEVE.
Believe it’s actually the difficulties that strengthen you;
Believe you don’t need to SEE the end to know it’s possible;
Believe you’re equipped for every second & every situation of YOUR ONE life.

May I gently suggest you give yourself ONE option?
Believe and try again.
Believe and keep climbing.
Believe- again and again.

love & strength,
sally

Didn’t think much about the weather until I was about a mile from home,77 degrees with 70% humidity. Tough 7 1/2 miles were easy, the last 1/2 was terrible, lol.

This was outside, hit the wrong button on my watch.

A run walk this morning, really needed after having a little PTSD this morning. At lease for me a long run/walk or exercising in the gym helps lot to ease times of stress.

Thought for the new week.
