So today is Saturday, and this Saturday in particular is the day preceding a half marathon. The BMO Vancouver Marathon. I have a few thoughts today.
First. I am not anxious today. I mean a little bit because driving to Vancouver and parking and finding the starting line is never just 'easy'... waking up at 4/430 am is not easy. But for the actual race/run. It will be okay.
I have now realized that for the past 5 weeks in a row I have run at least 21 km. This is kind of scary but it is fact. So going the distance is okay. I know I can go the distance. I know that sometimes it is slow. Sometimes it seems to take so so so so so so long and forever and hours and hours it seems, but it gets done and usually within the same half hour. I know that sometimes the miles fly by and then I am on the last 4 or 5 and its half an hour until finish. I know I can do 21.1 kilometers and that is pretty sweet.
Tonight as I get my things ready. I am more concerned with what part of me is going to be hurt first... not 'hurt' but maybe blisters, or what have you. No run has gone smoothly. I can say that. They have all been coming with their own new war wounds. So that is my question of the night as I go to bed.... which one will find me tomorrow.... and will I have something packed to deal with it after!!! ;)
Also it is supposed to be a beautiful day in Vancouver! I have decided to give my new Hoka Bondi 3s another long run.. since I am not 'racing' tomorrow, just another good ole training run. And thats all I got. I need to go pick my clothes now and get to sleep.
