I apologize in advance for my Oscar speech tone. I just wanted to take this opportunity to give props to my amazing coaches. First, my personal favorite Jay. He’s not just my favorite coach because, well he’s my boyfriend, but because his encouragement during this whole training period has really been the backbone to my motivation. First of all, he’s been incredibly understanding and supportive about the reasons why I want to do this marathon. That in itself makes me very lucky. Second, he has never, at least not to my face, taken my doubts as complaining, but has used every opportunity to motivate and reassure me that everything that I do in my training will help me cross the finish line. I am extremely terrified of race day and there have been many times that I’ve thought I’ve bitten off more than I can chew. Jay has been so great about helping me to realize that simply because I am attempting to do something that pushes me to my limit I have already accomplished something great.My TNT coaches, Ramon, Christine, Steve, Sandy and Debbie are an amazing network of support whose running experience is humbling and impressive. They coach hundreds of participants at once, and are always generous with their time. It’s a remarkable feat to turn someone like me, knee-deep in remote controls and take-out menus, to become a marathoner.
