There were times that I felt as though the window of opportunity was closing. The reason I was so focused on Delaware was because the balancing act of training, family, and work was becoming more difficult. I felt as though I was running out of time. With its flat course and small field, DE made me think that I could hit it and acheive a three hour and fifteen minute marathon completing my quest for Boston.
In training for DE, pushed too hard and became to focused on one thing - being fast. I didn't see my body tearing apart. My balancing act faultered because of a limited view.
As I recently walked into training for Chicago, I had felt as though I had learned my lessons well and I would get back on track... balanced. I didn't realize my life would shift off center so quickly... or maybe it had shifted so slowly that I failed to notice. In one moment, I suddenly found things spinning and falling apart.
I think now I have caught up with a better understanding...
a better view...
a better appreciation for what I have...
a better balance.
