I know I can, I know I can, I know I can...

Since racing day is practically here, I thought I’d share some wise words I recently came across after a particularly difficult training run. They come to me from a marathon runner’s blog that I follow.

It’s very hard to understand that the whole idea is not to beat the other runners. Eventually you learn that the real competition is against the voice inside you that wants to quit.

Wish me luck! Once I recover, I’ll report back next week.
