The journey is getting near. Just over 6 weeks until MDI. I'm having a lot of fun with it. It wasn't until I was 185 pounds and ran the NE Harbor 5-miler in 35 minutes a few years ago that I realized I needed to do something. I remember going out with the leaders for about half a mile and then the rest of the race getting passed. Finishing 29th and feeling worse than I used to at the end of a marathon, and then barely being able to walk the next day.
I tried multiple times over the past 5 years to come back, and failed. I failed over and over. I had to change my mindset. I continued to get up until I finally was able to stand. I dug deep down and made a choice. I decided I had to change things. It's like being in a race and being 50 feet back from the leader. You have to make a conscious decision and go get them. You cannot just tell yourself they will come back and hope they come back. You have to make a decision and go get them.
