Spirit Of The Marathon

So on Saturday after my race and my nap I FINALLY watched Spirit of the Marathon. I got it from Netflix like 6 weeks ago and never made time. Well watching it post-race was perfect. I laughed, I cried, I didn’t feel like us in the tumblr world are the only crazy runners out there. 

I CANNOT WAIT to run 26.2 – I’m pretty sure I’m going to have the biggest and dopiest smile on my face most of the race. I also will totally cry before/during and after I cross the finish line.

I recommend watching it for sure. 

My first “official marathon training” run is tomorrow. An easy 3 miler. Today’s plan is spin and to get there EARLY to make sure I get a bike and don’t have a melt down like last week 😛

I try to live intuitively with respect to my physical body. In a way, it is like enterting into a marriage with myself. I’m going to have this body for the rest of my life. I’m going to need to figure out how it works, what to do with it. I’m going to have to live in it. For, like, ever. Literally. The same goes for you, so you’ll need to find something that’s workable.

Saw this on a non fitblr blog I read.

When you reframe setbacks as opportunities, you will find that you gain much more than you have lost.

Thanks to those who have supported me throughout this break up. I have no ill will towards Wiley and I know he’s hurting too. He’s just choosing to deal with it differently. I hate it, don’t get me wrong, but it puts a “finality” on us as a couple that I couldn’t truly bring myself to think about. 

Regardless I know I’m on the path I’m supposed to be on. I can continue to move forward on my journey. I’m learning to trust God more than I trust myself.
