Pushing to the finish
May 11
Weather: Balmy grey morning with drizzle
Goal: Run under 31:17
Result: 30:34
Fans: Nick, my 18-year-old son and champion, was good enough to get up at the crack of dawn to go out to Eastham (45 minutes away) to cheer me on!
Review: A nice course with few hills. It was humid out and I felt like it was hard to breathe. I felt like I was laboring away. One of the police cars that was escorting the racers through the neighborhood duped me into thinking I was the last runner. Was I ever surprised when I rounded the last corner and saw my time!
Ugh moment: My attitude needed much improving. Running is a mental game. my thoughts were too negative and my game was not on!
