Marathon Training

With less than 7 weeks left until my marathon, you can imagine the excitement I am feeling! Nerves are beginning to set in and I am questioning all of the training I have done.

Literally every time I go to eat something I think "how will this effect my run today?" The hours I put into training make this emotionally and physically exhausting. So I begin to ask myself. "Why am I doing this?"

Here are my top 3 reasons for running a marathon.

1. Because I can. 
2. Because only 0.5% of Americans have ran one
3. Because I want to inspire others to pursue their goals.

I may have already mentioned this, but I feel it is very important to not lose sight of why I am running this marathon!
I am so incredibly blessed that God has given me the capability to physically run this race. Every day that I want to quit I remember this bible verse.
 
2 Timothy 4:7 
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."

Ever wondered how someone looks after a 13 mile run? Well you don't have to anymore! Here I am after my 13 mile run last week. 


I actually was feeling pretty great after my ice bath! 

What about you? Do you have any races/goals coming up? 

Until next time,

Janelle
