I finished my half marathon this weekend. This is my 3rd time..and let me tell you, if i can do it - so can you. It's truly about believing you can, and when you're "feeling it" out there, just knowing you need to keep going. Just keep moving....
Trust me, right about 11.5 miles my head games kicked in big time....I just wanted to be done, but I knew to just put one foot in front of the other, no matter how slowly, no matter how small those steps were - it was still forward progress....and eventually you cross the finish line.
I love Marathoning for Mortals because it made it feel very doable for me..I do a run/walk and it's been wonderful for me. You'd be surprised how many people out there do a run with walk breaks...you won't be alone...tons of people do it. Whatever gets you there...and you know what? There's never any shame in trying to do something...it's the willingness to try -- that's the TRUE first step!
You can and will do this....one step at a time - it's all forward progress.
