1 Day till Akron Roadrunner Half Marathon

This is has been quite an off week for me. I had three tests to prepare for on Thursday. I spent last weekend freaking out about them and then studying with most of my "free" time if you want to call it that from Mon through Thurs.  Trig, Spanish and chemistry became my life this week. Feeling down that I didn't do as well as I'd hoped on my chem test. Feeling emotional. Beating myself up over not handling the stress as well as I pictured or expected. And not doing all my training days as planned.

I did get a good nights sleep last night and plan to tonight as well. I also went to my gym to swim for a little bit. It's something that I truly enjoy and was hoping it might help center me. I also added some walking in the walking whirpool thing and jacuzzi time. Now I just feel more tired. But I am glad that I got to the gym. 

When I finish this blog, I am going to go to the Health and Fitness Expo to pick up my number and packet. Hopefully I will get a shot of enthusiasm from the energy there. I guess I just have to accept that I had a much more stressful week this week, than the week prior to my first sprint triathlon. And let go of whatever my finish time will be. I'd really like to hit the sub 3:30, but we will see.  Namaste.
