Race day is upon me.
What were nerves and anxiety early in the week have given way to anticipation and excitement now. I'm ready to run. In the spirit of full disclosure, I did not do my entire training- after my bout with tendonitis (which still seems to flare up after runs) I did not do my other two long runs as called for. To date, my longest run completed is 10 miles. Saturday, I'll have a total of 13.1 miles ahead of me. But I have trained- and my training will help me to cross the finish line.
Running isn't a competition for me, at not least in the traditional "me against them" mentality. It's more me against the voice in my head telling me I am too weak to continue.
My GOAL is to finish.
My ideal goal is to run the entire distance, without walking.
My dream would be to finish in 2:30.
I'll have a full race report- good or bad- after the weekend.
Right now, I'm going to bed, I'm packing my bags and I'm preparing for one of the biggest events I've ever participated in.
