16 miles complete!!!!!!!

| wouldn't it be nice to look like this at a marathon finish line? |
I would have liked a faster time but I need to just realize that my goal is to FINISH the marathon!! Over the past year (and even further back) my body has been through complete hell! I need to realize and accept that while I think its cool that my body is able to train and do this less than a year after "brain" surgery, that does not mean it still doesn't have needs and issues. I cannot and should not be pushing it too hard, maybe when training for a future marathon I can. But for right now, my goal is to finish with a smile. I need to stop comparing times and I need to focus on me. My body is amazing and I am so glad that I have recovered from my surgery without complications and I am so lucky that my whole tumor was removed. I've also has nutrition issues in the past and I think its cool I'm doing well with that too. My mood is amazing and I'm just all around feeling well. I do have my tired and not motivated moments but I think that is normal for everyone during periods of life. I am happy overall but I'm not happy every second. There is an overall and long term happiness that I think I have and then there is an in the moment happiness and I think no one can say they are happy all the time. Anyways, I just need to get my priorities for the marathon in line and not let anyone or myself believe otherwise.
Annapolis 10 miler next weekend! I am so excited that my mom is coming with me!!!!! I am beyond excited actually! It means a lot to me that she is coming, words can't describe my happiness surrounding that.
