So as my half marathon approaches I started to think about how to really prepare for it. Did I run every week? Yes. I've finally realized that I am in good enough physical shape to do this. The part I got stuck on was I need to believe in myself. That's the part I've been struggling with this entire time. I believe that as long as I believe in myself come Sunday morning then I can do this! I can't believe it's finally here but it will feel so good to finally say I'm proud of something I've done in my life.
