“I feel like a monster, a goddess, a rock start, a terror, a perpetual motion machine who, (besides being insufferably full of herself), has just run 15 miles and walked 2 more. HEAR ME ROAR!! and watch me collapse…”
I posted this self glorifying little gem on my social networking site a couple days ago. My friends were encouraging and claimed to be impressed. I had to laugh at the number of emails I got expressing surprise that I was still on track for this thing. Don’t they know me? I guess they do…they know the lazy and far too busy part of me at least as well as the stubborn, driven, goal oriented part of me. Right. Fair enough. That’s all true, too, and has far too often been the more visible part of me, I’m afraid. This long road is as much about the mental and emotional as the physical. 6 months ago, I’d have laughed if anybody had tried to get me to believe that. Now, I see it as the great truth of this thing. I eagerly await my next epiphany. -DG
