Lately I've been thinking a lot about a marathon...not to worry, I don't want to run one. But any marathon, 5k, 10k etc-doesn't matter. I've watched a few in my lifetime to know that at the start of the race there is so much energy and excitement...the runners are focused and ready to go. Usually for the first few miles the runners still hear the roar of the crowed or by standards cheering them on...but soon enough they find themselves all alone out in the field, running by themselves, unable to see or hear any encouragement. That is the time they they have to really dig deep and find the strength to keep it going. This is what makes or breaks a good runner.
I feel like I'm out in the field with this journey. The first few days, weeks...the first few pounds..when I hit milestones, there was excitement and now I am digging deep to get through this race and see the finish line. The finish line for me is very really, but still very far away. I'm running this race knowing that there will be times that I am out in the field running, staying focused and depending on what I've learned to pull me through. My inner strength. I will see this through, no matter how frustrating it gets sometimes...I will complete this!
