I ❤ Hal

I love Hal Higdon! I think that I have said it before, but I felt like I needed to say it again. I wait impatiently

for his tip of the day on Facebook everyday. Often his tip is just the encouragement or insight that I needed. Last week I was dealing with a great deal of self doubt. I have set a goal of breaking 4 hours on my next marathon. I also have a BQ as my long term goal. Since I have said it on KPVI More and also on my blog and told other people of my goal, I worry about feeling stupid if I have to say I failed. I hate failing!!! This was Hal's tip when I needed it the most-



I love that! After I read that my whole attitude about running has changed. I'm back to loving it and doing it for me. Not to prove anything, not to care about what anyone thinks. A PR is just that- a personal record. No matter what your goals are- they are for you! Don't worry about where anyone else is. Focus on what you want to prove to yourself. Whether its getting your butt off the couch more, taking out the food that isn't food from your diet, or signing up for a race or fitness competition. Do it for you!
