Three days from today, my race will be run.
Today, I had my last workout, which included 1 mile at 8:46. Though I wasn't sure how that would go, it did! Another marvelous mile. Interestingly, when I ran slower before and after that mile, I felt like I was running too slowly.
Physically, my training is done. In this regard, I only need to make sure that I rest. After 12 weeks of training, I have earned these three nights of quiet time. In fact, this time is as important as some of my runs.
I have to pack and travel, but I have to rest.
One challenge on race day will be trusting my training. I have to remember that I can run fast enough - I am strong.
So, physical training is behind me. Mental and emotional training remain. I will enjoy this. After all, that's what it's all about!
