It’s the final week. The Half-Marathon is on Sunday… and I can’t decide whether I’m completely ready or completely burnt-out. These last few weeks since my 25km training run have been difficult. I was sick, and then I just didn’t have the energy or drive to finish my training plan. I only ran twice last week. I think I might have peaked too early. I’m still looking forward to the run this weekend, but I think I’m going to cut myself some slack and just try to enjoy it. Having a goal is great for motivation, but not if it saps all of the fun out of the activity. It doesn’t matter how fast or slow I go. I just want to get out there and have a good time.

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

I’m sure you’re much more prepared than you are giving yourself credit for. Even if all goes as planned while training, I get the willies about a race the weeks leading up to it. Regardless, you seem to have a great attitude about the run; have fun this weekend!
