One Foot in Front of the Other

from The Stubborn Tortoise · host Donna Pazdera

I have a 50K on Friday and am a little worried because my training hasn't quite been there. But, over the weekend, I tapped into my mental game and reminded myself that the mental game is a big part of finishing. Looking ahead, I am worried about finishing the Brazos Bend 50-miler. The course can be soul-sucking with a lot of out-and-backs. On the good side, it is flat and the aid stations are great. I just need to remember to eat. From there, is the big kahuna: Snowdrop. I'm trying not to get overly worried and just keep putting one foot in front of the other. That's really all it is. I just need to block out the voices in my head. Oh, and it looks like I'm going to South Florida next week for a day or so. I'm supposed to be interviewed by Investigation Discovery regarding a case I'd extensively written about.
