Just Want to Say Thanks Again!
For those of you who followed my marathon cause, I just want to say thanks again for your support. It was hard, it was emotional, it was a life experience that I will treasure!
I am a bit of a perfectionist, so my first reaction was "I didn't meet my time goal!" But now that my head is clear, I remember that my goal was to finish not to meet any time goal! Somewhere between my last long run and the marathon I got obsessed with the idea that I had to finish within a certain time, which basically backfired.
Today I am taking a minute to pat myself on the back and say "You did it man, mission accomplished!"
