I’m running a marathon in 48 hours! Maybe in a blizzard because it’s in Northern Minnesota in October. I trained in the summer. I’m currently wearing sandals because it’s supposed to get up to 75 where I live. Here’s what I’m telling myself:

• You trained for this.
• You got this.
• Maybe the weather will change.
• Probably the weather won’t change.
• This is your story for the ages.
• You do not waste hard work.
• You can handle anything that is put in front of you.
• You trained for this.
• You got this.
• The faster the race, the sooner inside.
