I’m grateful for Thanksgiving and family
Happy Thanksgiving!!
The night before the race, and I think my mind if racing
faster than my body will tomorrow. My mind comes up with extreme scenarios of
what can go wrong; this is the worse part of an anxious mind. I’ve trained and
now I am ready for the race. Could I have trained more? Probably, but that is
hard to say as I always think I can do more and something better.
If I look at it from more of a neutral basis
without my racing thoughts, yes I probably could have trained more but I also
know I can do this race. Will it be fast?
No, but getting off the couch and even walking 1 mile is better than
nothing, and I am run/walking 13.1 miles. No small feat.
So, what I need to do tonight is get my clothes together for
the race, continue with the positive thought, and get some meditation
done.
I need to continue drinking
copious amounts of water and get some quality sleep tonight.
Before I know it the race will be done and I
will have crossed that finish line. Not fast, but I will have 2 more
opportunities to get faster and improve my time next year, and I will because I
know myself and that is only whom I have to be competitive with…. Myself,
nothing else matters.
I will be writing either tomorrow or Sunday to update how the race went.Next week I will be
starting a rotation of Insanity and my blog will continue with that training.
Have a great weekend and enjoy the journey.
