Every single word of this resonated deeply. After a batshit year from hell (that is somehow not yet over), I have had to constantly remind myself of most of these things, while also training for the NYC marathon. Everyone keeps asking me how I managed to train this year during all the turmoil and my response has consistently been that it’s the one thing I could control and the one thing that was predictable. I kept saying it would be my last marathon but I’ve already agreed to run it again next year, for the same reasons.
