The bottom line is that there will always be more races, so why not see what you can do? A PR would be amazing on its own, but who says the PR has to be one minute? Why can't it be a lot of minutes? I can't wait to see you pull out the stops next Sunday, and I can't wait to see you finish.

So much of that really depends on the attitude you go into the race with. If you get on that starting line feeling strong and confident, great things can happen. I surprised myself during a marathon this fall too. And I bet you are going to do the same!

I honestly think you a...I am so so proud of you!!!<br /><br />I honestly think you are going to really surprise yourself, even in relation to that A+ goal. Your mindset is right on -- dream big, run hard, and whatever happens, happens.<br /><br />I'm reading a training book now, and the guy said something like: Good goal setters hit their goals 50% of the time. If you always hit them you are aiming too low (I think I have this problem) and if you never hit them you are aiming too high. I think this means you have to have a goal slightly outside your comfort zone.<br /><br />You are a strong runner and I believe in you! Aahhhhh!! It is going to be fantabulistic!RoadBunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02628262932938865868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582324006220520894.post-68306608999754431642011-11-23T18:49:22.455-08:002011-11-23T18:49:22.455-08:00It will be AMAZING.It will be AMAZING.a runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13338982220048136690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582324006220520894.post-37012295319896231252011-11-23T18:38:39.184-08:002011-11-23T18:38:39.184-08:00p.s.
