Well tomorrow is the big day. One that will be very welcome after the horrible week of way too much news on my employer. I am upset with how things are being handled but this blog is not the place for those discussions. All will be forgotten once I take that first step tomorrow.
I am hopefully realistic in my expectations after the ankle problems in January and February and am looking at this as a long run. I need the mileage, need to start slow and need to learn how to run better when I am tired. If I can start slow and run when I am tired tomorrow it will be a successful race.
I have learned in life that most successful endeavors are either envisioned before hand or come as a result as a lot of hard work and luck. Your mental state regardless of how you find success is the same- loose, ready, passionate, excited, minimal amount of preconceived notions, not easily flustered when things go wrong etc. I have really focused this week on making sure that I am mentally prepared.
My next post will be a race recap.
As always, Happy trails
Rob
