I am capable.

Coming off this marathon has been tough. I think it has been tough for a lot of people. Not achieving their goals, the ending of a training cycle, dealing with the healing process but also looking to the future..what's next? For me, my thought has been trying to re assure myself that I am capable of training hard again and capable of reaching my goal and dream which is breaking the 3 hour barrier at the marathon. I've only had 7 shots which really isn't that many. But right now at this moment, my itb hurts, my shoulders hurt and I am fricking tired!!! I have no goal race on the calendar and I don't even know if I should take a day off or when I should take it off...ship lost at sea feeling for sure. But today I had this thought while putting my little lady to sleep: I am capable. I will. I am capable. I deserve my dreams if I am willing to work for them. Don't give up. Keep fighting. I may need some rest and time to let my body, mind, spirit heal but in a couple months, it will be go time. As my team says, respect the process.
