Getting Fit to Find Myself

Finding Yourself Through Fitness

October 3, 2015

Going into TC 10 Mile

Tonight I laid out “flat Missy” for the Medtronic TC 10 Mile, honestly “flat Missy” has been put together since last Saturday just waiting to actually be laid out.  Tomorrow morning I will be getting up at 4:30 am for the race and I could not be more excited!

Medtronic TC 10 Mile

I have run many races but I have never anticipated a race like I am the TC 10!  I have poured my heart into my training and I know it has already paid off.  I have a calm feeling that I haven’t experienced before and I know it is because I did all the training I could have, I left all out on the table.

I suppose the only thing I could have done better in preparation for this race is my nutrition over the last week.  I ate some crap I normally wouldn’t due to some emotional eating.  However, I am going to focus on all the positives because I have a feeling this going to be a good race!

Often times I have to find things to do the day prior to a race to keep my mind off of it.  Today was so much different, it hardly crossed my mind even though I didn’t have much to do.  I think this goes to show I am prepared as well as my meds are working!  There hasn’t been any anxiety about the race!  I know that is a first.

I wish that I had gone into all of my races feeling this calm!  I guess it just means I know what I need to do going forward!

No matter happens tomorrow, I don’t think I could be more proud of myself!  I could have quit when I ended up in a walking boot at the beginning of my training but I didn’t.  I could have quit or found excuses when I came out of my boot and my foot still hurt but I didn’t.  I could have quit when I found out that as part of my heart rate training I would have to run all of my training runs at a 14:24 pace but I ran the snails pace.  And I am sure there were a bunch more times I could have quit but I didn’t!  No, I embraced this long hard process and I came out so much farther ahead then I ever thought I could.

So, here is to hoping that TC 1o Mile is everything I have trained for and more!
