I love how setting a goal lets you ignore a lot of noise that comes from the world. This is something I'm also finding strength in. I try to pick one or two things and give them most of my focus, and then I don't have to worry about guilt or shame for not doing the billion other things I could be doing instead.
I picked what I want to focus on. And the rest can wait.
Ah that's so real! I find it really hard to focus on 1-2 things, but I'm working on it. Especially while training I think I've had to shift my focus and goals to meet my current needs. It requires me to only pursue what's most important.
Sydney: This is so vulnerable. Thank you for putting this into words - it's so so so spot on! I love how much you are absorbing and synthesizing all that marathoning teaches - not just running the distance.
I don't think I anticipated how much training would make me think about things. While I knew it wouldn't be /just/ running, I believe that going through this is making me realize so much about myself.
So true! Health is not always weight loss.

Can’t wait to talk about Woman, Eating in class tonight! Another hunger rec: Milk Fed by Melissa Broder.
Milk Fed has been on my list for so long! I just requested it from the library!
Woo! Lmk what you think!
