This weekend has been wild. Amazing opening ceremony at Paris Olympics culminating with Celine Dion singing a Piaf song on the Eiffel Tower. Next day, disastrous news regarding our women's soccer team. This is life. We need to be ready to deal with highs and lows.
We prepare to reach a particular goal and life steps in, so we have to pivot. In Ottawa this year several of us changed our goal from 1/2 to 10K, 10K to 5K, or stepped away from the race completely. When things change we have to manage our emotional feelings, and deal with the reality of our situation. Being with fellow TPWers we had the support to move forward to make the mature choice of doing what was best for our bodies, not our ego. Having friends who support your choices is invaluable. Let's keep going and be each other's cheerleaders.
