I'm so very glad that it's Friday. But it also means another week nearer to Norseman. 4 weeks to go. I really try to calm myself down and say to myself that I can quit any time during the race or just let go my competional soul. I'm such a competetive person when it comes to races as I want a good place and time at the end. I don't mind the swimming and cycling part, but I really, really fear the running. I remember too good how it felt at the last 10k of my marathon in March. I was so very exhausted and aching all over. I'm simply afraid of the pain which will come for sure in running.
I know that it is all about mental things and borders in my head. Maybe I just need more experience in endurance sports. It's my first long distance race. I have no problems at all with middle distances. Last year I suffered alot after such a middle distance race. This year it was just like a day after a heavy training day. No pain at all, no muscle aches. I feel a lot more fit then throughout my entire life before.
I'm going to make it! I know. And I will be very proud of myself that I made it. I trained hard for this goal and I'll get the reward for that.
A woman of our congregation had an accident last weekend at the Olympic stadium, during the regional congregation. She fell down the steep stairs at the arena and broke several bones. I'll go and visit her this evening at the hospital.
Right after work I have to go to an expert dentist who checks on my teeth for the insurance company. I hope that this appointment won't take too long as I have to go cycling for some hours before the visit in the hospital.
Sun's out again after thunderstorm and rain last night and this morning. Looks nice and cooled down after some pretty warm-dampy days.
I have an appointment with PT next week for a running session. Looking forward to that. Just me and him.
