The thought of paying for the hotel, the ferry on the way there /and/ back and all the expenses is what made me decide not to do it. I figured it was better to pay for the race and miss out than to stretch myself too thin with the costs of travelling for a race that my heart wasn’t into. It’s important to listen to that gut feeling and honour what your body needs!

ahhhh no way, can’t believe we were essentially experiencing the same thing at the same time — cheering on people we love, listening to our bodies, and having slight FOMO about it!! Go girl, I love that balanced state of mind. And HECK YES on a half together one day… let’s find a fun LA one in the Spring!!!!

I watched my fiancé run a half marathon at the vegas rock n roll. It was hard for me to watch and not participate but I’m healing my relationship with working out. I was totally fitness obsessed and killed myself just to get in that workout. So for now I consider a walk with my dogs, a hike, a yoga class as perfectly okay … who knows maybe we will run a 1/2 together someday… I’m in the LA area 🙂

And I have NEVER had that experience in my life. I have always been the person to sign up for a race on a whim and run it the next day, with or without training.” THIS IS ME. And it takes a LOT to recognize that you don’t have the space for it, and the toll it would take on you body, mind, emotional state if you forced yourself through it (and crushed it like the perfectionists we are!) Love this post lady! xx

Now if you can just stop and think a bit before saying YES! SO PROUD OF YOU!!
