Week 18: Enjoy

Tomorrow is race day.

All the training led to this day.

I’ve laid out my running gear on the table. Presently, the race bib is pinned onto my singlet. I’m prepared for whatever comes but I’m also a bit anxious. The achilles on my left leg is acting up. As a whole, the body feels tensed up. But I suppose that’s a physical manifestation of my excitement. Just to be safe, I intend to perform some extra stretches in the morning.

My goal is just to enjoy running the streets of Berlin. This is my home race. Whatever may happen tomorrow, nothing can take away this opportunity.

For the rest, I will never know unless I start running.
