12.10 miles
Part of me is surprised how the idea of completing 26.2 miles which is something I’ve done several times before, triggered some anxiety in me today. It came out of nowhere. It’s the end of Week 7 and I’m already scared I won’t be ready.
Overall I felt physically good today even with the miles from yesterday, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t already feeling nervous about the race.
Perhaps I’m placing some undue stress and pressure on myself because deep down I know I have plenty of time to prepare. I just want to be able to complete training as best I can, have fun while doing it, and trust the process.
From now on, I need to focus on each day and each run and the rest will take care of itself.
Thank you for reading my daily post on my Chicago Marathon training.
You’re gonna do great! One day at a a time. Eat, rest, stretch, train. You got this. Much love.
Thank you A! One day at a time. xoxo
