Day 25 — Steps

Today’s post is for everyone running the London Marathon tomorrow. Especially first timers.

In the build up this run, you’ve put in an incredible amount of work. The race you run, walk or shuffle through 26.2 is a celebration of that work. Think back to all the steps you’ve made to get to this point today.

Think back to that first time you stepped out the front door with the intention to actually run somewhere.

Think back to the first time it stopped feeling like every time you did it.

Think back to that first race and how daunting a 5 or 10k seemed. You got through it though. You are a fighter.

Think back to the first time that you were proud of yourself.

You got through all of those things.

You might not feel ready but when are we ever ready? If you spend your whole life preparing then the opportunity has already come and gone.

You are ready.

Tomorrow get ready to welcome a new chapter into your life where you become a real do-er. This is the experience that opens up your world. This is where you grow.

This is where you will become a marathoner.
