A little pep-talk I'll want to remember

Part of training for a marathon is running a 20 mile run...yes 20. I didn't accidentally bump the "0" button. ;-) I only wish that was the case.

But tonight as I was researching marathon training I came across this little pep-talk. And in 13 weeks when I run this 20 mile training run.... I will want to remember this guys words when I start thinking
– I just ran 20 miles.
– Wow, I need to go another 6 miles in the marathon.
– I’m really tired.
– My legs hurt.
– I don’t think I could go another 6 miles.
– What have I gotten myself into?
– I think I’m going to puke.
– I don’t feel ready for the marathon.

And like he says, instead think “I’m done with my training and I’ve gone so far to get here.”
