Bitch Cakes

Bitch Cakes recently ran in her 4th qualifier for her 2012 NYC Marathon. It was the Colon Cancer challenge 4 mile Run in Central Park.

I just love the positive nature of BC's blog. She always tries to keep it as positive as possible, (even if her run/day wasn't as good as she had planned), which is something I am endeavouring to do as well. I know we all have bad days and I know that sometimes it shows on our blogs, but I just love the optimistic tone of Bitch Cakes' blogs and posts.

At the end of her post Sheryl wrote a list of lessons she had learned from this particular run. The title of the list in itself is great - "Lessons learned from this run? (Remember, it's FEEDBACK, not failure!)" This is something I have to remember more - feedback NOT failure! It is something I can really relate to - I need to be kinder to myself and import some more positive feedback into my life.

Out of the 8 points on the list, the last one just really resembles Bitch Cakes affirmative and encouraging behaviours - I love it!

• "And yes, keep the promise to myself that I will never, ever give up. Just keep going. No matter how long it takes or what obstacles I encounter!"

These are the sort of promises I need to make with myself and KEEP them. Thanks again Sheryl. Even though we have never met in person and probably never will, I just want to thank you sooooo much for sharing your amazing life with me (and everyone else). I really do feel privileged to be able to read along and follow your successes.
