You may have lost a few pounds, you may not have, but you should have noticed that things are little looser. Remember that muscle weighs more than fat, and muscle burns more calories at rest than fat does.
Think about this journey you’ve been on. Running is one of the few things you have to do by yourself. Only you can travel the distance from the start to finish line. Yes, you can have the support of your friends, family and running partners, but on race day, it’s all about you and your readiness.
