I've been feeling a bit nervous about my upcoming race this weekend. This is the time that I'm kicking myself for each run that I've missed and each more mile I could have run. Thankfully, my husband called me today and had some words of wisdom for me. He made me list out what I was afraid of. The only thing that I could come up with was that I was nervous that I wouldn't be at the same level as others doing the race. Saying it out loud, it sounded a bit silly. This race is for me! It's to prove to myself that I can conquer something I never thought I could, not to prove anything to anyone else. Not knowing if we will get the chance to speak again before the race, he left me with one last piece of wisdom. He simply said. "You got this. Now, go get 'em girl!" I love that man! He has a way of reassuring me when I question myself. He sees the strong woman that I am, not the one who second guesses herself. I am awesome, and I'm beginning to realize that.
So, my workout for the day was a 3 mile run. I completed it in about 40 minutes, which isn't exactly where I'd like to be, but it's not bad either. As my husband says, "Even at your slowest, you're lapping everyone on the sidelines." So go me!
What did you to today to improve yourself?
