For the lastyear, I have made my final push for my Master's Degree in Counseling. This month my name was called and this summer I am completing my last two courses. Let me say I have never felt so desperate to stop doing something! The only thing on my mind is the finish line. I draw every day on the last few km of a marathon. It is my image, what I refer to, what I meditate on. You know the agony, the feeling of being spent, longing to just stop running and enjoy the crowd cheering, after throwing up and crying. HA! This is my image.
I have mentally prepared, I would say for this moment as I have run. I am thankful, as the feeling of discouragement can be so strong. It is just you and the books, the discussions, the papers and the writing. The long haul feels long, but from experience, I know that I have trained, and that pushing forward is so important.
I have not posted much lately, for conservation of my energies is also a part of this journey! I continue to run and will continue to post as I have energy or time. I am running over 30 km a week right now, and my enjoyment increases in the last year each week. My mileage will crreep up and I think I will sign up for a half-marathon soon.
Now back to my studies!
