Running Reflections: There’s a thin line between pride and failure

The struggle is real!

I decided to register,

train,

and run,

a FULL marathon of 42 km,

to commemorate

my (upcoming) 50th birthday.

With mere weeks to race day, I decided to listen to my body.

My body was firmly asking to be heard.

This was no longer something I wanted to do.

I am now registered at the same event (Toronto Waterfront)

but for the HALF marathon of 21 km.

Sometimes it makes sense to power through.

Sometimes it is wise to make adjustments.

That said, I’ll be transparent and tell you…

Part of me feels a deep sense of failure.

Part of me is proud of the pivot.

Can you relate, Self Made Nation?

Do you find it easy to pivot; and make peace with shifting boundaries?

I’d love to know.
