Dear self...


Dear Self,
Chin up and remember failing is not in your vocabulary.
Will you be the fastest runner tomorrow?
No, not by a long shot.
Just know that it's okay.
Guess what?!
You are still running laps around all those people sitting their asses on the couch eating endless amounts of junk.
So what if you have to stop and walk?  So what if you have to stop and get something to drink?
It's okay.
You have made it this far and giving up is never something you do.
It's okay to cry, too.
That's what you are going to wear sunglasses for.
This is definitely an emotional part of your journey.
So what you have gained some weight back during the process.
That's okay, too.
You have recognized it and you are pushing forward.
You are a BAMF.
Start acting like it.
Think positive always.
The negativity will only hurt you in the end.
Just when you think you can't go any further, keep pushing harder.
Think about all those people, your Pawpaw especially, who would give anything just to walk a mile right now.
Know that your Pawpaw, along with the rest of your family are proud of you no matter what your race time is.
Just that you are running/walking 6.2 miles is a HUGE accomplishment.
And last but certainly not least...
Practice your Finish Line race face.
We don't want to be looking like this do we?
Didn't think so...

Just remember...


Oh and beer will be waiting for you at the end.
No.Big.Deal.
