Happy Motivation Monday Runners! You are now looking at athletes who may have been unsure at first about a 19 week virtual group training program in the midst of a pandemic to prepare for an unsanctioned ultra marathon through streets of New York City during a heatwave with no guaranteed of aid stations, shirts, or medals. But, they tried, trusted the process, stay committed, and as a result they all completed 26.3+ miles this past weekend and for some it was their very first time. I’m so inspired and proud of these athletes for taking on a challenge even though it may have scared them, never stopped even though training got really uncomfortable, and stay patient even when it seems like it will never end. You all are the reason why I will keep trying, staying consistent, and remaining patient when I go after my goals at @berlinmarathon and @nycmarathon this Summer. Thank you!
