Motivation

We had a talk on race preparation, motivation and the mental aspect of a race last night. This has been one of my forte since I started running. I guess it's because I often need to reinforce that I CAN DO THIS because I sometimes allow dark thoughts to clutter my mind :)

So this morning, a friend who is running the Berlin Marathon the same day as me posted this on his FB wall so I shamelessly stole it and posted it on mine:

"Attention Montrealers!!! This is not a drill, soldier. We clear on that? This is a live project. You're a go. Training is over. Training is over." Chris Cooper... 

I loved it, totally loved it. It's so true. Training is over, this is fluff, what we do now is only stuff to keep us from going bonkers as the body must rest until race day.

So tonight is 10k race pace, so 10/1s. Then maybe a last get together with the group before we head out to our respective races. Train is tomorrow evening, I have lots to do before then. But my mind is clear. I have my plan, I'm ready.
