I'm a little overwhelmed by Becky's encouraging words from yesterday! In fact I got a little choked up. Because I definitely wouldn't be where I am today without her.
She's the one who suggested the half-marathon in the first place. However, at this point in time, I'm not sure yet if I'm grateful about that! The Half-Marathon is in two days. The day after tomorrow. Not tomorrow but the next day. Two days. Today’s the 8th, the race is on the 10th. Tomorrow there will only be one more day. Do you get it? Two days. I’m starting to feel a little anxious; can you tell? It is quite apparent to me, because I had a pretty involved dream about the Half-Marathon the other night.
In my dream, I woke up at 8:15 (the race starts at 7). I stumbled out the door of my house (luckily, in my dream, I lived right at the start of the course) and went to the table where the race coordinators were waiting for the runners to start coming back in. I asked if I could still run. They had to have a conference to decide, because no one had ever been so late before. They finally decided that yes, I could run, but only a 5K because I was so late. So I started running and was immediately blocked by obstacles, including but not limited to traffic (because they had already opened the route back up), and also a couple of guys carrying a sheet of glass across the street. I had to stop for all these things and was feeling very frustrated that my first half marathon time was going to be totally ruined by my oversleeping. Wow. How many deep meanings can you take from that dream?
So for today’s October challenge, you get a trick, which is for you to have a sugar-free day. Because really, I don’t need anything else to wire me up.
