Run your own race. The best way to feel crappy about yourself is comparing yourself to someone else. There will always be someone fitter, smaller, skinnier, richer, faster or prettier. I find that I feel the worst about myself when I look at what others have accomplished in comparison to what I've done.
Instead look at what others have done as inspiration. For instance, I look at what a running friend did during her pregnancy. She ran up until 36 weeks pregnant. I look at that as inspiration but know that if my body and the baby in my womb doesn't like that idea, I won't be running that long. It's just comforting to know someone else who's done it...it can be done.
So, focus on yourself and focus on your journey.
