So I never forget the rule of thirds 🤟🏼

When I returned to training after pulling my adductor, I had an easy 6 on a Monday morning. I ran and I felt like I didn’t deserve to be running. I could barely keep up a 10:30/minute pace. How was I going to pull off a 4:15 marathon, a 9:45/minute pace? 
.
Then I read about the rule of thirds in alexipappas book. & I realized, I do deserve to be doing this, it was just a bad run. Not every run can be perfect but I could keep putting the work in and I could continue to show up. 
.
During the 2023 NYC Marathon I found doubt creeping into my head and I remembered the rule of thirds. I dug deeper and continued to run as a #bravey 
.
Thank you for always believing in me alexipappas ✨
