Race #2
I’m slightly nervous, not too much though because I’ve had far too many other things on my mind to just focus on the race, which can be either good or bad. Today I started feeling little butterflies in my stomach. I don’t know why. I know I won’t win. I’m not even in it to win. I would like to do better than the last race though. I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’m really slow, thanks to Garmy, but that’s okay with me… sorta. I’m going to work on improving that, and at least now I’m not fooling myself because I now know exactly how much I’m running.
I haven’t had a chance to check Garmy on another running track, but hopefully I’ll do that soon. I’m even ashamed to admit that I haven’t had the chance to run in the past two days. I’m really not going to be prepared for the race. I skipped out yesterday morning because my legs felt weak and tired and this morning I was simply too tired to get up. I don’t know if it’s a good idea to run this evening when I have the race tomorrow morning. Maybe I’ll head out to the gym after work, or maybe not. I’ll see how I’m feeling. I don’t even know what to eat tonight. I know I don’t need to carb up for a 5K, but I don’t want to overeat, or eat anything that will upset my stomach tomorrow. That’s the LAST thing I need.
Hopefully I’ll do decently though. And hopefully I can start running more again. I miss it and I need it. I need to start feeling better. Anyway, results coming soon.
Have a great weekend!

Try to refocus that nervous energy and have faith in yourself! You are doing what most people will NEVER do… myself included!
As long as you do your best you will BE the best.
Good luck!
Good luck! I’m not the fastest cyclist either, and sometimes that gets me down, but I tell myself that I’m in competition with no one, but myself. Challenge YOURSELF, forget about everyone else. You’re doing this FOR YOU!
