what doesn’t kill you …

“What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger”
This is what I say to the kids many times a day, and it has a pretty high success rate. What I need to do is practice what I preach. To remember just because I am frustrated that it’s just a bump in the road and not a road block or the end of said road all together. My running has been a struggle since my half marathon in June. I’ve done a few longer runs and both of them have left me struggling toward the end and wanting to give up all together. Then I tell myself, did that kill you? NO. Are you doing more than you ever thought you could? YES. So, I suck it up and I finish the run. Sweaty. Grumpy. Defeated. I am so not ready for summer to end – but I feel like summer just isn’t a match made in heaven for Melody & Running. I’ll keep on keepin’ on and squeeze my runs in when I can and enjoy every step that I do take… because at the end of the day I’m doing it and I am getting it done.
This has been a good mantra for me this week. You are a rock star and I know when the cooler weather gets here you will be kicking some serious ass!
