That is the question I have been getting all week. The answer to that question is, I do not really know. I always tell people I am because I want to think I am. The truth is, I do not think most runners know. It is not really a question we can anwer until race day.
Like in other sports, you can train and practice for whatever period of time, but you just have no idea how things will go until game day. There are so many factors that can change your day that you have little control over (I.e. Injuries, the weather, bodily functions). It is something that drives a lot of runners crazy. It corms with the territory iof being a runner.
If you say you are not ready, more questions come; what do you mean? Did training not go well? And so on. Now, I am not annoyed when people ask me about my running, I love to answer questions. I am just trying to explain the diificulty of answering that question. All runners would love to say, yes! We are and we going to dominate . Runners hate failing because many of them putt so much into training. Card could probably be fueled with the amount of nervous energy in race corrals.
With race day quickly approaching, runners should also thank those people who are asking them if they are ready. The majority of the time, people are rooting for you and want to hear that we are going to dominate. I would rather get the question than not get it at all. It' is really nice of people to take a few second s and ask about my training. It may be tough, but answer the question with a smile and thank a person who has asked you this question.
On that note, thank you to everyone that has supported and put up with me over the last few months . A lot goes into this and some of you have played big parts in helping out with that. I really appreciate the support and words of encouragement I have received. You guys are awesome!
Fellow runners running tomorrow, let's go dominate this thing!
Run happy!
