Woke up on the Tuesday after your birthday and then realized you have a Half Marathon scheduled for the coming Sunday?
No? Well, I did! And believe me, if you can live vicariously through my realization and not your own, you will save yourself a lot of anxiety.
That being said, I then realized:
- YIKES! (Since this is a family-friendly blog)
- For the remainder of this week, I need to FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS. Sorry folks, it’s about to be me-time for awhile.
- This race isn’t any less important that any other Half I have run…I just happened to forget about it after getting wrapped up in my non-running life.
- Apparently I live two lives. Running and non-running.
- I need to be careful not to let my non-running life not only interfere with, but take over my running life.
- I can’t have a normal non-running life without an abnormal running life. This means I will run – all the time – it is my priority.
- I do not expect anyone in my life to understand this. I do expect them to respect it. In fact, if you know me as a non-runner, the runner in me may be difficult to accept. I’m okay with that.
- When I say I have to run. I have to run. Yes, bad things will happen if I don’t. Just ask my husband.
- If you know me primarily as a runner I want to say Thank You. Your support, patience, encouragement, and understanding is invaluable to me.
- It’s CRUNCH TIME for me!
