I knew you were supporting her but she was letting her fear translate what you were saying to her.

By the way, Olympic swimmer Dara Torres focuses on her “number” – the time she wants to complete certain distances – before she jumps in the pool. Focusing on that number, really feeling that it’s possible, is what helps her to make her number just about every single time!

GO Sunshine! And GO you for being such a great man for her.

xxoo

The only thing that will stop her now will be an injury. Fingers crossed, that won’t be an issue.

You tell her CBG. She can totally run this. She’s practically run all 26.2 already. And like I told her, though, just because she didn’t run the actual race (if she really does not), that doesn’t mean she failed and that doesn’t mean she isn’t capable. She doesn’t need a race to prove that. She’s a bad ass runner and I think she’s amazing. :) Love that you wrote this!

Even PREPARING for a marathon, or any race for that matter, is such a feat! The mental part of it is the most important. I was an avid runner for 2 years, ran races and ran every stinkin’ day until a hip flexor/bone spur stopped me (if I continued, I would’ve needed hip surgery to repair. My body just isn’t designed for running) and I was soooo bummed! I miss the rush of a race, the friends you make along the way, just the ultimate “spirit” of the race atmosphere. It’s amazing!!!!!!

In NO way is this defeat, as she is getting out there running for miles at what, 4/5 am???? The only ones that do that are the ones dedicated to their overall well being and determination to do what they set out to do. I think it’s more admirable to run consistently than to run a few races a year. Anyone can do that, then….they hang up their shoes.

I think she’s awesome!!!!!! And I agree…she rocks! xoxo
