I had a hard run today but everytime I thought I wouldn't make it, I would think back on these things I am learning here and with all my reading, and realize that the only reason I may fail or quit would be mine, and mine alone. I am embarking on an amazing physical journey as well as a mental one. This is marked by my decision to run a marathon for Team In Training. I plan on the full 26.2 miles.
