So as most people know, I have been fighting a cold... (doc told me it was allergies but I highly disagree with him) anyways.. thats not the point. I have lost my voice, coughing, nose stuff, the whole nine yards. I have been training for this marathon since December. I took a few weeks off after my half marathon and then geared up for this. Lets just stay that I dont feel like the stars are alligning for me. I couldn't sleep last night because I was snoring so loud and coughing, not because I was nervous of oversleeping. This has been the least nervous I have ever been for a race in my life. I am normally so nervous I dont want to eat, and I can sleep. Frankly, today, I just want to be able to start the race.
You could say that I feel unmotivated and maybe I am. I did feel pretty ok yesterday but today my chest is tight. My goal today is not to beat any time that I previously had for myself. It is just to finish. I know I will be way behind many people but thats ok. If I walk, thats ok. I am just thankful that I can walk and run and who knows.... there is always next year or another race to do my very best at.
