My race/time goals have been thrown out of the window. The aim now is to be healthy and able enough to stand on the start line, and treat it as a slow steady training run. It should still be an enjoyable day out amongst like minded people, and I'm sure the spectators will help motivate to get to the finish.
This is the way! Enjoyment and health first, racing is only for when you had a succesfull and healthy trainingscamp.
One thing I really hope that you will experience is that you realize that despite the setbacks you are still doing this! While it might not be a personal record you can do this and “the harder the battle, the sweeter the victory” (Les Brown)
You can do it!
Yes, damn right! I can choose to complain, or I can choose to enjoy the experience and be thankful that I am able do this!
Thanks for the pep talk! 💪
