I’m not pleased of this. and I really am not ready to completely talk about why I this happened. but I want to share because it was a really big deal for me to push through this.
I was doing an interview about my experience at Boston a few days ago with the Hyland’s team and was asked, “What did you find in Boston?”. The theme of sharing our journey was “Find yourself – find Your finish Line”.
My first thought was – I found a lot of Run eat Repeat followers! It makes me smile to think about all the people who said “Hi” in Boston or messaged that they saw me. thank you. It made me feel like we were all in this journey together. and I really needed Camiseta TSG 1899 Hoffenheim that over race weekend.
Every single hey there made me feel a little better, like I had a pal there. I feel like I know you too. and you didn’t know it at the time, but nearly quit the race before it even started. I wanted to share because your support Camiseta Selección de fútbol de Arabia Saudita indicated so much you didn’t even realize.
I’ve been taking care of a family emergency that’s had some ups and downs for a few weeks now. two nights before the Boston Marathon I just couldn’t cope with it anymore and completely lost it. I stood in my condo’s tiny shower room crying so hard I was terrified something was wrong with me (besides the evident things). Every single ounce of strength I had left made a decision to abandon ship and flowed out of me in the form of tears.
I unexpectedly realized that I couldn’t travel from SoCal to Boston like this.
What if I had a panic attack on the plane? What if I started to randomly cry at the team breakfast?? I could NOT keep it together and I was going to embarrass myself. Running a marathon Camiseta Newcastle United requires a strong mental attitude – I did not have that. What if I just felt like I couldn’t keep going and quit?! how mortifying.
I can’t do this.
I was already stressed about travel and um, actually running 26.2 miles on the most prestigious course in the world. That’s normal. but the additional anxiety of a looming breakdown was just too much. I could not do this. I don’t know how I could cancel at this point, but I had to. I can’t do this…
Then, I had a light bulb moment (right there in the bathroom).
Be brave.
Monican, ideal now be brave isn’t about running and pushing through a hard hill. ideal now you’ve gotta be brave. You have to show up.
This is an awkward situation, but it’s a part of my journey.
I’m very glad I showed up. I’m so grateful for the opportunity. I’m very lucky to be able to blog about running and eating and share my experiences with you. and I’m incredibly thankful that I was able to be brave, push through, run the race and meet a lot of amazing people.
I’ll share a lot more as I process all of this but I did want to tell this story because it was a really big deal for me. I hope you are not going through anything hard ideal now. but if you are – Be brave.
