Ep: 113: 2 Months Until the NYC Marathon: A Training Update + The “Dollyisms” Helping Me Keep Going

We’re just two months away from the NYC Marathon, so I’m sharing a real and honest update on my training—including the return of my frustrating plantar fasciitis, adjusting my training plan, and why I’m choosing hope over perfection as race day gets closer.

I’m also sharing the “Dollyisms” that have been encouraging me lately and how these simple words of wisdom are reminding me to be brave, keep going, embrace hard things, and make the most of this life.

NYC may not go exactly as planned, but I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to chase this dream—and I hope this episode reminds you that you can do hard things, too.

In this episode:

• My current NYC Marathon training update
• Dealing with a plantar fasciitis flare-up
• Why I’m adjusting my running while continuing to strength train
• Choosing hope when things don’t go according to plan
• Why I’m determined to make it to the NYC starting line
• Running for the Brave Like Gabe Foundation and those who inspire me
• The Dolly Parton wisdom helping me through this season
• Planning the next 12 months of life and making room for the things that matter
• A reminder that hard doesn’t have to mean impossible

You don’t have to run a marathon to do something hard. You just have to be brave enough to try.
