Earlier this week I was thinking about the race......at the time it was 53 days away. I started to get really nervous......what if I don't finish? What if I don't make the 4 hour time limit? What if I feel like crap that day and can't run? I had all of these crazy thoughts in my head. And then I had a little talk with myself.......
I generally don't sign up to do things that I'm not good at. I'm not big on commitments either. This training thing has been a BIG commitment and way out of my comfort zone. And I certainly don't like to attempt things that I could fail. So this whole running and commitment thing......are new for me. And that is when I said to myself.........Tina, you may not be the fastest or best runner out there.....but you are a runner. Even though you walk during your runs........you are a runner. You have been training, just like you should. You will win....you will succeed.....because you will finish.
So I'm learning......I can try things out of my comfort zone. I don't have to be the "best" to succeed. Let's just hope that on race day.....I can still convince myself that I can finish and I am a runner!
So that's my thought for the day. Keep on running!
Happy Running! Enjoy the snow!
sounds like you gave yourself a good talking to. If nothing else, it gives you a dang good reason to go to florida for a few days. And at least two people will be cheering you on when you come down the stretch. Think back to when you started. You have nothing to worry about.
