I mean, I have waxed poetic before about how entirely snotty I am.
It's really a problem. If you are around me long enough, you might be hit by my snottiness. Literally.
So today I could tell on my run that spring had officially arrived and I once again turn into a very snotty chick. It's very attractive. I'm getting pretty good at the ol' farmer's blow. Just watch out if you're behind me.
You know what? I just wasn't that into my run today. It was great to be out there in SHORTS! SHORTS! today, and Ana and I had some good conversation as usual, but we decided we were just kind of over it. Good thing it was a nice and easy long run before I throw in some more race pace stuff.
Speaking of which, I just saw next Sunday's run already. Gulp.
5 miles comfortable pace, 9 miles goal marathon pace, 4 miles comfortable pace.
I do believe she is trying to kill me.
So I have a full 7 days to wrap my head around that and get psyched up for it. Not psyched out. Which, I'm not gonna lie, is how I felt about five minutes ago when I looked at it.
If this was easy, everyone would be doing it. I signed up for this. Time to go hard or go home. These next two weeks are pretty damn important.
And another good history-related quote comes to mind:
"The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark."
— Michelangelo Buonarroti

I need to remember that I had the option to take the safe route, and I have made the conscious decision to ignore that.

Interesting thing: Dean Karnazes said that snot rockets are actually bad for you and to carry a snot rag. And I have snotted on someone. It was awful.
love the quote!
Mind over matter....you've got this! (Hell, you are an educator! You have had longer and rougher days in the classroom-right?) ;-)
My snot machine was full blown, pun intended, yesterday. I was blowing snot rockets without even trying! I feel your pain!
Good luck on next week's run! I am sure you will kill it!
Oh I am with ya in the snotty sisterhood club! :-)
Get excited about your upcoming run! You can do it and when you are done, that confidence will carry into race day execution!
