Faking It
2012 September 24
They say “fake it till you make it.” And that’s exactly what I’m doing right now. With six weeks to go until the marathon I’m feeling as though I might not be able to make it through to reach my goals but…
I refuse to let go of all I’ve worked for the past nine months. I’ve hit a slump and I hope that pretending I’m as driven and excited now as I was in January will carry me through until I make it. I also have this song on repeat:
Like I tell my clients and keep telling myself, I have to push through even when on the surface I don’t feel like it, because deep down I know my heart’s desire. I know that if I don’t give this my all for the final stretch, I’ll regret it for a lifetime.

Good luck with everything!! You’ve trained so hard, you’ll do great! Just keep that fire lit
Mind over matter! Stay focused. LOVE This song. You’ve trained your tail off, keep your eye on the prize and build yourself up!
Hang in there! I’m feeling the same way about training for the Richmond Half Marathon — these past couple of weeks my motivation has taken a nosedive. Maybe it’s a symptom of hitting peak training? I’m reminding myself that taper is only a few weeks away … just gotta get the workouts done.
By the way, love your blog — really motivates and inspires me!
Love that song! You are right, keep your eye on the prize.
