Since setting my marathon goal, my attitude toward running has completely changed. I enjoy it! I no longer dread my runs (well, rarely) nor do I count the seconds until I'm done. I also find that I am making fewer excuses and looking forward to running. I am enjoying the scenery and the fresh air, and just being outside. I'm also exploring new places and plan to start trail running soon.
It is amazing what setting a reachable and exciting goal can do to your motivation. I feel like I am already transforming into a newer and better version of myself. My confidence and self-esteem are higher and I feel healthier. I've always envied those who love running and are considered runners. I've always wanted to be one of those people, but I never thought that would be me. I am rapidly altering that view of myself and turning in to the kind of person I have always wanted to be. I'm only a month into my training and I'm feeling amazing. I can't wait to see what the next 11 months have in store for me!
Cheers!
Ashley
