It's all good!

I was like "of course you are not a failure if you finish!" :) So I thought I was misreading ;) Sorry :)kilaxhttp://www.ilaxstudio.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005464141741044836.post-82035999674323052902012-05-23T09:32:08.349-05:002012-05-23T09:32:08.349-05:00I didn't want to wait until Indianapolis in No...I didn't want to wait until Indianapolis in November. I felt I was ready and I just wanted it to be over with. In hind sight, if I would have waited and let things soak in from the day and all of my mistakes, I might have had a better go the 2nd time around. Oh well, live and learn, right?<br /><br />When I wrote the sentence the first time, I was thinking about how disappointed I was with my original 5:28 finish time. If you finish a marathon, you are not a failure... But I totally agree that if you DON'T finish a marathon, you are not a failure! There is always next time, thankfully... :)Kelly @ Running Kellometershttp://runningkellometers.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005464141741044836.post-68325717892851352992012-05-23T09:26:15.222-05:002012-05-23T09:26:15.222-05:00Thanks for the encouragement!

I am so happy you only had to wait a week for a better marathon!<br /><br />Should it be if you don't finish a marathon, you are not a failure?kilaxhttp://www.ilaxstudio.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005464141741044836.post-20543333693258226912012-05-21T21:30:35.187-05:002012-05-21T21:30:35.187-05:00Im glad you were able to take a bummer of a marath...Im glad you were able to take a bummer of a marathon and turn it into a positive learning experience. The heat got to me in that race among other things- that day was a tough one. But its these "crap" days which keep me coming back for more.
