What a difference a couple days makes.
This morning's 5k was great. So good, in fact, that as I hit the homestretch I really thought I could finish under 30 minutes. I booked it to the end, looking like a hyper-speed C-3PO, and stopped my watch at 30:30. So close!
What made the difference? Well, I did eat some pasta last night, which I haven't done before. That might have helped. Also, I got plenty of sleep. I actually went to bed so early, Julie laughed at me. Oh, I also ran my route backwards. Changed things up a little bit.
Most of all, I just determined to do it. Just do it, like my friend Anthony says (and Nike). It was like, whatever happens...just keep going. And being mentally prepared is key, right? Obviously.
So, good stuff today. Thanks for all the positive thoughts!
Also, I just want to say that along with all the legitimately stressful things going on in my life, there are also a lot of AMAZING things happening! I fully realize that I am blessed. And I am determined to see the shine of those things despite the grime surrounding them at times.
Keepin' on keepin on...
