As the days have passed, I've been able to let it sink in more. I RAN A HALF MARATHON! That seems crazy to me, given, like you said, that I ran my "first 5k" race exactly a year go. Also the Army. I've come a long way in a short time. I need to remember THAT and not all of the self criticism. Thanks again for your support and encouragement! I'm always excited to "show you" what I've accomplished-because I feel your belief in me!

Being competitive has its perks and drawbacks. Seeing my family was the highlight of my race. I'll never forget the feeling of actually being "lifted" by them into the Finish.Mis(s)Mannered Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18307342287952842057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1450781927507277917.post-11888188974993310322013-09-30T13:05:02.144-07:002013-09-30T13:05:02.144-07:00What you accomplished was epic.

Before I say stop being so hard on yourself ...Dude! Before I say stop being so hard on yourself I'm going to tell you that I totally get it. I used to be ridiculously hard on myself but through my Tri training have weirdly gotten so much better. I just started focussing on what I can do instead of what I can't. Having said that.... STOP BEING SO HARD ON YOURSELF : ) You realize just a little over a year ago you couldn't even run 5k, right? And on Sunday you ran 21k! That's HUGE. I'm so proud of you for pushing past the negative self-talk. One of the hardest things I've found when it comes to anything athletic is getting past the mental hurdles and you totally did that. So proud of you.sharonhttp://speedskatingmom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1450781927507277917.post-75920737853877493762013-09-25T04:41:43.976-07:002013-09-25T04:41:43.976-07:00I totally teared up reading this, felt like I was ...I totally teared up reading this, felt like I was in your head during the race, and i know what that mental battle feels like. But you did it, you didn't give up. I think you did awesome, it was a challenging course, you killed your previous half training time too! I love the part where you saw your family, i love that they ran to the finish with you, so much pride in their eyes. The look on your girls faces after the race was the perfect reflection of how amazing you did. I get the blues after a big race, you push yourself so hard, and after there is this release...I feel so raw and vulnerable. Lots of TLC :) So very proud of you.
