Today will be my last run before my race on Saturday morning so I'm going to enjoy every step I take. As I write this, it's 4:30 AM and I'm about to head outside and enjoy the solitude of the roads knowing that won't be many people around.
The following passage is something that I've written before every race, hope you enjoy it.
If I forget to smile during the week,......... please forgive me it's race week!
If I feel like crying when I see someone run, knowing that I can't......please forgive me, it's race week!
If I feel like I've gained 20 pounds after carbo loading for three days....please forgive me, it's race week!
If I seem like I have the "deer in the healights" look all week...........please forgive me, it's race week!
If I have a hard time sleeping this week..........please forgive me, it's race week!
If I start wondering if I've trained enough for my race........please forgive me, it's race week!
If you hear me mumbling to myself about what the hell I was thinking about when I decided to run 100 miles.......please forgive me, it's race week!
If I run to the bathroom every 5 minutes from all the water I need to drink this week.......please forgive me, it's race week!
If you see me eating 6 blueberry bagels over the course of a day......please forgive me, it's race week!
If I start going through withdrawl from the fact that I can't run for most of the week..........please forgive me, it's race week!
And finally.....If I forget to thank all of you who read my blog and have wished me well with my race this week.............please forgive me, it's race week!
