I can't say for sure that I am ready but I know I have put in my best effort, most days. Is that vague enough? I was flip flopping back and forth over the running the half or switching to the 10k. Each day I would wake up and have made my decision only to go to sleep with a different thought. I can't say how many times I have changed my mind but today as I drove down to get my race kit, I drove by the 'Official Start Line of the Mississauga Marathon' and I got a little teary. I messaged my support system, Krysta and Craig, to ask if I was crazy for wanting to do the half and both of them told me they knew I could do it. I knew at that moment that it would be better to try and fail then to fail to try. Worst cast scenario, I run 10km and walk the rest. I know I can do 10!
I will be cheering myself on at each kilometer marker and I may just have a couple cheerleaders there for support. I will make sure to let you all know that I survived.
And now to relax. Only 1 day 9 hours and about 10 min until my first half marathon!
Love,
Jocelyn, the half marathoner!
