Well, it is only five days until the Eau Claire Marathon and I think a little bit of nerves are starting to kick in. I’m being extra careful with my workouts this week and saving my energy for the big weekend. Keeping the negative thoughts at bay is difficult but I need to remember my successful training and stick to my regular routine.
A common fear is getting sick during marathon week. This morning I woke up with a bit of congestion and right away I panicked that I was getting a cold. Instead of letting it consume my day, I went to the gym and worked out. Since that scare this morning, I have felt much better. Again, it was a classic case of letting my mind/body play tricks on me. The best way for me to fight off any type of cold is to drink plenty of water and take vitamin C.
The final thing I need to is relax and get plenty of sleep the next few nights so I’m well rested and ready to run my best marathon ever. Next week I plan to give a complete review of the race and maybe even share some photos. Until then, have a great week and keep running!
Both marathons: stuffy nose. I am bringing extra tissue this year.
