Well, hello everyone. Welcome to another rousing episode of the Run, Selfie Repeat podcast, where we talk about life with the side of running. I'm Kelly Roberts, and today on the podcast, well, this is important. Today is a very, very important episode to me because this is something that

drives me wild. And honestly, this is what imploded a good year of my life and it's doing it

for the right reasons. But before I get into that, I want to read you two comments that were

left on pieces of content I started, or I

shared recently, and I'll explain why in a second, the first one. Here we go. Let's see. P.T. told

you to only run eight coming back from injury. You ran 10 because the group was doing it.

Trying to remember all the past mistakes like coach told you to take a day off,

instead you went and did a hard spin class, or coach told you to run certain paces, you ran faster

because you were feeling good, or coach told you to only run a certain distance, but you ran more

because it was an amazing day. It's getting harder and harder to root for you when you keep making

the same

mistakes over and over and not listening to your coaches or PTs. I'm sure I will just get branded

as a hater for saying this, but unless you want to repeat the same results you had previously,

you need to start changing the mistakes you keep making over and over and listening to your

coaches. That is the toughest part of running.

It's learning from why we fail. And number two, is this all you are doing? Training for a

marathon? No kids, not working. My God, if you can't do this when this is your only focus. Well,

all I can say is that women who have multiple kids and work full-time career-type jobs

qualify for Boston every year.

Good I luck then.

I don't know what that last part means.

One of the hardest parts about setting a goal that feels impossible is telling the people we care about, I think.
