I guess I want to thank my fellow runners (aka my best
friends) for putting up with me! The
training this time has not been easy for me.
My head hasn’t been in it from day one, so in turn I haven’t been the
easiest to get along with. My attitude
has been somewhat negative, and for that I am sorry. I think when you run as much as we have been
running our true emotions come to surface, and mine haven’t been pleasant.
We 5 don’t really argue much, but this time around there has
been some tension. Thinking about it
made me sad but then I realized something.
We have been together 6 days a week for 16 weeks straight! We are tired and worn down. Most of us have some type of injury we are dealing
with, it’s no wonder there is tension.
Instead of being sad about that, I need to take a step back and look at
the bond we have. It doesn’t matter if I
make one of the girls mad with a comment I make, or if I get my feelings hurt
because of something they’ve done, we move on and continue to be supportive of
each other. We all have each other’s
best interest at heart. If we were not
true friends we wouldn’t have made it this far in our training schedule. For that I feel blessed. Although I have felt alone at times, I know
that I have 4 of my very best friends cheering me on, and they will never leave
my side! Thank you girls, I love you all
very much!! Let’s go make this race our
B$*!!!!
I want to also shout out to the other Wellington runners that
have done some training with us. There
are too many to mention, but we 5 girls talk about how proud we are to be a
part of such a great running group. The
courage and determination that each of you have is just amazing!! You all continue to inspire us every day!!
