Note from Jen: I asked Christy to write this post because I am number one, in awe of anyone that completes a marathon, and number two, because it might, just might, be on my bucket list. Here is what she had to share about what she learned during her marathon journey…
What I Learned During My Marathon Journey
by Christy
When I made the commitment to sign up for my first marathon, I decided to “go big, or go home.” So, I contacted my friends at Team in Training and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and put my name down for the Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco. And I’d love to share with you what I learned during my marathon journey.
First moment after I signed up – gulp. Panic. Gulp. What did I DO? Then, I started telling everyone. Better to get it out there and start being held accountable.
Do you know the number one statement people said to me during my six-month marathon training? Not, “I’m proud of you.” Not, “Wow, that’s amazing!” Nope.
