Earlier this week I was doing a workout and reflecting on the experience of the past few months. Looking back on my short history as a ‘professional runner’ the number of people who have supported my dream and invested in my running goals is no less than amazing. Even in the moments when I doubt myself, the fact that others are invested and believe in what I am doing makes it possible to push myself through the ‘tough’ days and believe that big things will come.
My college coach liked to challenge us to consider if our self-talk resembled how we would talk to a friend. Honestly, I am much more critical and doubting of myself than I would be to any friend. I often wonder why I see so much potential in others when they don’t see it themselves, then I soon realize I am the same way! I think it is necessary to surround ourselves with those that will speak truth to us and to help us truly see ourselves the way God sees us. With that in mind, I want to say thank you to everyone for the constant encouraging words, prayers, interest, and investment in my training. My interactions with everyone have been so reinforcing, I will continue to train hard and remind myself that others are interested in my training because they believe in me! THANK YOU!
