3:28 including 6 water stops, 3 Shot Bloks, 4 Motrin, 0 bathroom breaks, and 4:1 intervals. Nothing but sunshine and positive thoughts. Something had to change. 14 was &^!! and I was determined 16 wasn't going to get the best of me. Life's kinda like that - keep putting the same thing into it, you'll keep getting the same thing back. If you are not willing to make changes, you really can't complain about what life is giving you. Granted, I'm not exempt from complaining and you'll hear me do it again I'm sure but you won't ever see me settle for what the landscape looks like today if I know I don't want to see it again tomorrow and the next day, and so on. Change is hard and it doesn't happen overnight. I wasn't anywhere close to calling myself a runner back in the summer when I signed up for this and after 3+ hard but rewarding months, I'm getting close to calling myself one.
"I know that the only person I will ever have to outrun is the person I used to be. More than that, I have learned just how far I was from who I wanted to be. And from the day of that realization, every step has taken me closer to the person I am trying to become."
