Due to the holiday weekend and my sheer laziness, I’m a little late on the weekly wisdom post this week. I’m a little lacking on motivation myself this week, but I came across the quotes I’m about to share with you and they both made me smile in a special way:
This quote felt close to my heart this week because I am lacking in motivation to run. My spirit is a bit hurt from IT band pain that has resurfaced. That IS what running is, though, testing limits of the human heart. My heart has been tested a few too many times, but maybe it’s because my big red pumping muscle also knows I can handle it.
…and this quote really brought a grin to my face:
I have a tendency to write off a lot of good things that have happened in my life and/or accomplishments to being sheer luck. Sometimes it good to have a reminder to give yourself credit.
Have a wonderful week and remember you CAN keep going and please pat yourself on the back along the way 
Thanks for this! So true that we need to remember when we put hard work in…it’s not always just a wonderful stroke of luck!
This reminds me of my favorite sign I saw in the Brooklyn Half…it said “YES YOU CAN!!” Love it.
Hope that stupid IT band stops hurting veryyyy soon!
