Right on target – it’s December and my 2022 Race Plan is complete.
Here it is:
As of today: happy, healthy, ready to get on it.
A dose of reality: while I’m positive and energetic as I write this, I did not do the planned run for today. I was supposed to run 8 easy miles today. I didn’t do it. My ideal run is in the morning. Today, I had to leave my house early for work so no run. 10 hours later, I get home and it’s dark. Usually I can power through a night run. I’ve done it before. Leave the emotion out and just get it done. Today, I couldn’t. Didn’t. Didn’t want to.
However, I’m will do everything. I just needed a day. I just needed a running break today. In the future I will leave the pouting to the off days.
Follow the plan, when it goes sideways, get back to the plan. The plan is the word. Word.
I’m ready.
