I love how people come in here looking for validation, only to find that they share the same sentiment. Maybe you need to surround yourself with more genuine friends and family. I get/got nothing but support and praise after doing major endurance events, and ST is the last place I would frequent seeking reassurance.Yup... family, friends, coworkers, doctors.
My first IM, I have completed a number since, coworkers placed bets on whether I'd finish or not.
The first time I went sub 4 hours on a marathon, my father-in-law ask me to join him in getting food.
I never brought up the marathon. He brought it up. He seemed aggravated by it and said a friend of his said it is not hard to go sub 4. He then told me that he could do it and beat me. (the most he ever ran at one time was 5 miles when he was young)
You are lucky your family is supportive !
