I remember training for my first 10K run.
It sounded so daunting, yet exciting at the same time. My husband would tell
you that up to that point, I was allergic to exercise and healthy living. I
would encourage him and the girls in their athletic adventures but I was not
interested in joining them. But when the offer to experience something new came
along, I quickly accepted. By nature, I don’t see myself as a
quitter, so I knew I was all-in once I made the commitment. I had to prepare my
mind and my body for any race day conditions. It started with my mind. I had to
be mentally ready to endure whatever I was faced with on the day of the race. I
started this process with setting a goal. Sure, I knew I would finish the race,
but that wasn’t enough for me. I set a time for me to cross the finish line. My
goal gave me something to work toward. My goal is what motivated me to get out
of bed on mornings when I didn’t have anything planned. My goal is what
motivated me to finish my practice …
