When we think about thinking positively we at times assume that it implies seeing the world through rose-colored glasses and ignoring the negative parts of life; but it’s more than that.

ee weeks left until my marathon!! I have been so pleased at how well my training has been going. I have been feeling great, strong and overall very happy with the progress I’ve made. In fact, I have shaved about 30 seconds off my average mile time. I am so excited to see how well I can run the NYC marathon course, my goal is to run it in 4 hours or to get as close to 4 as I can. 
bout 5 years ago, when I lived in Brookline, MA a friend of mine was trying to get me to start running with her. At the time, she was training for her first marathon and I remember thinking she was crazy! I had no desire to run, let alone train for a marathon. I often argued with her and told her I couldn’t run, that I wasn’t built that way, and that my body was not physically capable of such a thing. Looking back, I could not have been more wrong. Today, I love running and wish I would have started sooner because everyone can be a runner! Whether your run a 12 minute mile or 7 minute mile you are still a runner!
