Had this moment of emotional clarity this morning on my run that, no matter how the marathon goes, the real thing that I'm proud of is the running, the practice, the doing. Tried to bring that back to my writing. We are not guaranteed success, but we can always show up. That's all there is.

This is the right attitude to have. I got injured right before my marathon and wasn't able to achieve my goal time, though I did complete it. But I am dang proud of the training and the miles that I put myself through in the months leading up to the race. Best of luck to you!

Thank you! It’s a daunting thing to imagine getting one shot after so much training, but then one realizes the point is not really the race. The point is the preparation. The point is the doing.
