## Caption

1. You suck at gaslighting yourself 😅: You gotta think the work isn’t intimidating. That your 6 mile tempo run isn’t even that hard. Too easy! (h/t isaiahphoto)

2. You’re not running slow enough 🐌: Especially if you’re struggling to build mileage. You need to have days where you run very slow. So slow it’s kinda funny. For me this is an 10/11 minute pace. Everybody’s different.

3. It’s okay to walk 🚷: Adding onto my last point. If you can’t run, first walk. Do the run walk method (ask jesseitzler)

4. If you avoid running in the rain you’re not cut out for this 🌧️: The rain is your friend, learn to come to peace with it. And another thing. YOU CAN’T CONTROL THE WEATHER ON RACE DAY. 

5. You’re wasting your first mile 🙃: Listen up B! You’re nearing 30 and your body needs a little TLC before kicking the legs. Stop skipping your warmups and take the 5/10 minutes to get your body primed for the effort that is about to hurt. Stop being lazy (if you couldn’t tell I was talking directly to myself in that last one).

6. If you can run a 5K, you can run a full marathon 🏁: Remember, it’s easy. A 5k is 3.1 miles. Then you do a 10k. 6.2. Move up to a half marathon which is 13.1, so almost like double. And then once more to the full 26.2. Easy. The end.
