Nerves

It's around this point before a race that I start to get a bit nervous. I know it's silly little things that normally I wouldn't be concerned by. I've done it before and I know it's possible but there are still all the "what ifs"...

What if:
I don't sleep well enough and am too tired?
I get dehydrated?
my injuries play up?
I collapse?
I hit the wall and feel I can't go on?
my feet hurt too much?
it rains?
my bra rubs or my boobs pop out?
it gets too cold?
my walking friends have something go wrong?

So many what ifs but I know that by having these thoughts now I can overcome them. I can have a little worry, get it out of my system and know that on the night I will do my absolute best. I know that no matter what happens on the night, even if all those what ifs occur, I will be crossing that finish line. This cause is so close to my heart that I've come too far to not complete it.

There again, it wouldn't be a challenge if I wasn't a little nervous!

Now to practise my mantra "I will make it to the finish, I will make it to the finish"
