Challenges

[Karks]

I’m challenging myself to a marathon next year in May and a half in March. I’ve done the overnight walk marathon, but running is another level. Having done couch to five K last year I thought I’d continue to be a great runner, but that didn’t happen. I want to overcome my inability to think I can’t achieve and just do this 😊

Changing the mindset from "I can't do this" to "I can do whatever I set my mind to" is the most important.

Learning belief in yourself rather than giving yourself a hard time will really pay off.
