On today's episode, I give you a little race training update and what I’ll be training for this spring, but we are also talking about 5 questions or things you need to consider if you are thinking about training for your 1st marathon. Maybe you’ve tackled the ½ marathon distance and are thinking about signing up for a full marathon now. Or maybe you’ve only run shorter distances like 5K’s and 10K’s, but would love to be able to check a marathon off your bucket list, there are several things you will need to consider before signing up.

On this episode we are talking about self-care and making time to fill your own cup. I recently saw a quote that said something like, “You’re not tired or burnt out because you’re doing too much. You’re burnt out because you’re not doing enough of what makes you happy.” And I couldn’t agree more. Yes, we often feel tired, overwhelmed, and burnt out by all the things we have on our plate in this busy midseason of life, but we mostly feel this way when we are not making time for the things that fill our own cup. When we are not prioritizing self-care.

I hope you'll take a listen and make time to fill your own cup today!

5 years ago today, I self-published my very 1st book, Transformed: My Story as a Farmer's Daughter with Big Dreams and an even Bigger God, and so today I thought I would read a little from the 2nd chapter, titled "My life as a country girl."

"You can take a girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl." unknown

I hope you enjoy this special episode, and more importantly, I hope it gives you the courage to write your own story. I truly believe that each of us has a story and a book or two in us. We just have to start writing it.

Here's the link to my 1st book on Amazon
