I'm running my first marathon next weekend. I've done ok in training, got up to 20 miles in my long run. If I'm not able to run the whole thing it will only be because of a lack of determination/quitter mentality when it gets too hard.

I want to collect a list of phrases I can just repeat to myself when I feel like walking instead of running. Like:

• You've done all this training, you'll be so disappointed in yourself if you walk
• This is your chance to cross something off your bucket list
• Just do it!
• Keep going, all you have to do is move your legs

I need something better than these. Is there anything you all say to yourself when you're feeling defeated during the run that gets your motivated again?
