I am still lacing up my running shoes almost daily and often getting up before the sun to train for the 50K. I'm not going to say it hasn't been hard, but I can say without any hesitation that it has brought a lot of satisfaction. Even though I have done some hard things in the past, I still doubt myself and fear failure and it is empowering to take on another big challenge and succeed. It is unbelievable how quickly a body can grow stronger with some effort. I don't know how many of these long races I will do, but I sure hope that whether it be running, or something else that I will never stop trusting myself and my ability to stretch further than feels comfortable.
It is sure a lot easier with great company. My running friends have proven to be great therapists as well as entertainers.
