I’m the one in front in blue
ONE YEAR AGO, I was in Sarasota, FL nervously wondering if I could run 13.1 miles after serious ankle surgery and then a foot stress fracture.
AND I DID IT!!
It made me believe that I was invincible!!!
This Strong Running Mama also attempted another half marathon. This time after a broken foot.
Of course, though I only have some minor aches and pains (foot & hip), I don’t feel confident in my ability to run 13.1 miles in TWO WEEKS!
Yes, I will finish (even if I have to crawl.) But the competitive me wants to PR. And my training runs don’t seem to indicate that it’s a possibility.
Nevertheless, I am super excited about this race. I am running with 4 others (2 that I know & 2 that I don’t). I leave Friday evening and come back Sunday night. It should be a fun quick getaway weekend.
Happy Running! How do you deal with the pressure of a big race?

I will be thinking of you and hoping you have a great race, no matter what!
I get very anxious about certain races. Sometimes, I just have to deal with it until the gun, other times I am able to talk myself down. I try to set reasonable goals, keep my expectations realistic and do my best. You’ve got this!
