Summary
I've been chasing my impossible goal for two years. Two years of doubts, setbacks, fears, pain, suffering, and life-changing accomplishments. BQ or Bust, my journey to qualify for the Boston Marathon, started as a stunt. Something to keep me busy. A new goal that I was certain I'd give up on two months in. Two years later, I'm still chasing my BQ.
I really hate the saying, "How bad do you want it?". Not because I don't believe it, because as someone who used to quit on myself often, it made me feel like a failure. Hearing that now, it doesn't upset me. It reminds me that things worth fighting for take time.
Let's talk about the latest BQ or Bust Plot twist!
