I didn’t feel very energetic tonight. Poor sleep the night before and feeling very lethargic all day, maybe a bit dehydrated. Excuses, excuses! But felt disappointed in myself that I didn’t have a good one in me. That’s the frustration with running. We always feel we have to be and do our best! Still, I got up and out and that better than not!
Just one of those races. If you always have the mindset “I can only do my best” on that day. Then it can help. If every race went well, then it would far less satisfying when we cross that line. We need the bad races to make the good ones feel awesome. Well done Lou.
