I wrote yesterday about two of my slowest half-marathons in three years. This year has been obstacle after obstacle. I have blamed circumstances. I have blamed people. I have blamed myself. I hold pretty high standards for myself, and when I can't meet them, I tend to get down on myself. It's no fun.
Have there been moments in the last 10 months I have wanted to stop? Thought to myself, "you're so far off, why bother?" Compared myself to others who run faster and seem more put together and in control? Yes. Yes. And yes.
However, no matter how far away it is or how hard it is going to be, I'd rather prove myself wrong. Come out on top.
So, I will push through the stress. Get through the adversity. Find a new balance, a new normal. Cut myself some slack.
I won't stop.
