We all suffer from it on occasions. Some of us almost permanently, but when reality hits, the true us appears.
I have been training with my 10k app for long 13 weeks, logging about 26 km of running a week in the end. I had less time for preparation than anticipated, there is a surprise honey, for somebody who has to get up at 5 am to make that felt story that she promised to make a week ago :))).
I entered into the Seawall 10k to give myself a goal to work towards to and my goal is not to just finish, but to run it all and finish under 75 min at the worst. Today is the day before the race, my joints ache, I had only ran 5k last week and my energy level is nowhere to be found. So suddenly the previous sentence seems overly ambitious to say at least, but does it matter? I’m not a professional athlete, I have no hope for prize money, so what is the deal?
This event is about enjoying yourself while doing something good for your body. So get over your overly competitive nature and go and god damm enjoy yourself! ;)))))
