There's approximately one day left before my first official 5k. This time tomorrow I will probably be just getting up to head downtown. I'm experiencing a plethora of emotions that I'm not sure what to do with. I'm nervous, excited, scared, excited, worried, excited....did I mention EXCITED? The goal was to be able to run the entire race. As it stands right now, I'm not prepared to run the entire thing, but you never know - once I get there and in the mix of things, that could totally change.
I was feeling pretty bad/down about the fact that I hadn't trained as hard as I could have so that I'd be prepared to run the entire thing, but after talking to my dad, he reminded me that the object is to set a goal and work to attain that goal. This race will be another step forward to getting to my goal of running a full marathon next year.
I was in the gym this evening just thinking about how much support I've actually received over the past few months and I'm beyond grateful. This journey includes not just me - there are sisters, brothers and a host of other people who are walking out this journey with me. It blows my mind, but I'm so grateful.
Ok, now to bed but I feel a little too excited.
