See you from the finish line in a few hours (I hope:) I’ll post asap! Thanks everyone for all of your support/love/comments. You are pretty much the best ever.
Hopefully spending all day yesterday at the splash pad was a good idea.
My 4 mantras for this morning:
-I can do hard things.
-Turn and Burn.
-Stay in the mile.
-DIG DEEP.

Good luck! You are a huge inspiration for me and I hope you run and feel awesome today! I love the “turn and burn” mantra, I may have to steal that one. I had a race this morning, a 4 mile and I ended up third in my age group even though I wasn’t feeling the best. I kept repeating “relentless forward progress” in my head and it got me through. You can do it! Go get ’em girl!
Christina
Regardless of time or if you finish, you are awesome!!!!
