You are not a tree

"If you don't like how things are, change it! You are not a tree." ~ Jim Rohn

Why did you start Marathon Makeover? Did you want to improve your health?...start an exercise routine?...get some group support?....change something about yourself?...do something crazy?
Now is the time to remember why you started this in the first place. You will have several big times during this training when you will need to remember why you are doing this. Write it down and post it where you can see it so you remember.
The first big hurdle in this training, mileage wise, is the big 3 miles. It still takes me 2.5 to 3 miles to settle in and get my rhythm. 3 or 4 miles can be tough because just when things start clicking, it's time to stop. Strange, huh? Get over this hurdle and you will be so glad. Just push through and keep going.
It's a strange and wonderful thing to have the power to change. Remember, you are not a tree. You have the power to be who you want to be. Muster up the courage and intestinal fortitude you need to continue on this journey. You will NOT be sorry!

Robin,
You just hit the nail on the head! Believe it or not, my answer to each one of your questions was YES. So I am going to type those questions up in the form of statements and put them all over my home and work areas. I think your blog is just what I needed to get back on track. Once again, thank you for your encouragement and for being there when we need you!
