I feel like a woman about to give birth...I know it's coming and I'm as prepared as I can be. I even have my "marathon bag" packed. I have all the necessities: backup ipod, warm sweats for after the race, a 2nd race outfit (including shoes) in case of some freak wardrobe malfunction with my current race outfit or shoes, water, towel, plastic bags to contain my nasty race clothes, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch...like I said, all the necessities! ha ha
Now, I wait....
The marathon is nine days away. Part of me want it to be here NOW so I can be done with it and figure out my next move in running (be it train for another marathon to try to get my goal-possibly hire coaches or get pumped about Boston 2015..who knows). I also want to to be here now because I really want to have a beer, junk food, and coffee..I've been without since March 22nd. The other part of me would like some more time to continue strengthening my hamstrings and do more speed work. One way or the other, it's coming and I need to get my head ready. While I'm prepared to not make my BQ time I'm still hopefully. Getting your BQ time is really tough, but it's a goal...you have to work to achieve your goals. I need to trust my training and do my best.
"A winner is someone who sets their goals, commits themselves to those goals and then pursues their goals with all the ability that is given to them. That requires someone who beleives in themselves, who will make self sacrifices, work hard, and maintain the determination to perform at the best of their ability." -C. Leeman Bennett:
