Well as you can see from my entries on this blog, I have been somewhat out of the game for a while. No, I didn't get hurt, I haven't been out of town, I have just been in a funk. I have discovered that I have a valve in my brain that I not so kindly refer to as "the sabotage." You see, anytime I get close to completing a big goal (regarding exercise) my efforts seem to come to a screeching halt. Motivation, determination and the ability to see the finish line disappears. I long to do this and have wanted to do this for SOOOOO long. There is no rhyme or reason why I can't, and there is nothing stopping me, but ME.
I have gotten incredible encouragement from friends, family and most of all from you, Laura. I know I can do this, I want to do this and I know that once I finish, my life will never be the same. So I ask you God above, PLEASE help me, change my thoughts towards positivity, help me to see that this is possible, I can do this and I will cross that finish line. I went to the YMCA yesterday and did 20 minutes on the Precor, 20 minutes of speed walking on the treadmill and took a 45 minute spinning class. I felt great! I need to remember that this is rewarding, there are many aspects that I do enjoy and that I need to take it one day at a time instead of just focusing on 13.1 miles. Thank you Laura and others for your support and encouragement. I really do want this.
13.1...it can be done, right?
