nerves

With the Pittsburgh Marathon just around the corner, I'm getting more and more nervous every day. I know I shouldn't be too nervous... I've run those three 20-mile runs, I am physically prepared. But mentally unsure! Especially after waking up with a cough yesterday and a wheezing sound this morning. And a lack of sleep last night after a nightmare from watching 3 episodes of criminal minds in a row. But I'm sure it's just nerves. It's gotta be. I don't actually know how much of running is mental, but for me it often seems over half. But then I have days where I feel bad, but have great runs. Or days where I feel great and am really ready to run, but my legs tire after 2 miles, and being mentally tough doesn't save me. Maybe I just shouldn't over think it. And instead, focus on the seventh Harry Potter book that I'm listening to while I run for the fourth time.

yeah..
