You better believe it! I deserve a medal for running my own half marathon today.
I was pretty good off at the 7 mile marker and when I hit the 10 miles, I was thinking, "no problem."
Then my brain got the best of me at the 12 mile mark.
"I gonna finish."
"2 more miles to finish. 1 more mile to a half marathon."
"When I ran half marathon I was tired and sleepy and tired."
"I'm tired."
"1 mile to go, .1 more mile until my longest run ever."
"half marathon, with the full I would have to do this again. This is scary."
"My legs hurt, what' s up with my toe."
".6 miles." That's too far.
"If you count my warm up that's 14 miles. I can stop."
".55 miles. What! You are kidding me. I've run at least a mile."
".35 miles. This is taking forever. I 'm sure my Nike+ is broken."
500 meters to go- I can't take another step. Why am I holding this water bottle?"
400 meters to go- I can see my car. It's too far away... It's too far away.
300 meters to go- WHAT! Do you want to kill me? I can't make it. I should just walk.
200 meters to go- Must stop.
100 meters to go- This is the most grueling run of my life. I see the light.
Congratulations!- FINALLY! After how many freakin' minutes!
Hey- I beat my half marathon record by 10 minutes! Mmmm.... protein shake and bagels.....mmmmm...nap..............ICE BATH! (no mmmm)
It's all a mental game! We can do it Raptors- finish strong on Saturday ( I don't recommend doing it alone!)
