Do hard things. And fail often. DNF at my first fall marathon today. - 21.45 miles - 6:24 average pace Executed the pace well. Executed nutrition well. Executed hydration very poorly. Fell way behind on fluids in the 70 degree temperature and 90% humidity. It slammed me at Mile 21. Felt the hamstring pull and seize up. Went full lock a few steps later and I decided to stop before it became an injury. Never fun, but that’s showbiz, baby. Get in the arena. Sign up for the physical side quest. You may not always get it done. But you’ll win at life along the way. Good training run. Learned a lot. And we live to race another day!
