Jitters…

March 13, 2010

So my first duathlon is tomorrow. It will be the beginning of a great year for me, I intend it to be that much. I’m jittery because I haven’t got everything planned right down to a T, my toe HURTS, putting my foot in a cycling shoe HURTS and also, I’ll be getting all of 4 1/2 hours of sleep tonight because I can’t sleep. Due to the pain, I’ll also be running and biking while taking Advil, not a terrific plan since Advil has been known to give me gastric pains and can lead me to injure myself more but I’ll take it and deal with the consequences as they come while eating plenty tonight to stave off any gastric pains.

So a few things to get me through tomorrow:

1. From Green Zone “Whatever you want here, I want it more than you do”

2. From Mark Twain “Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief that is denied to even prayer.”

3. I can, I will, I am able to do this.

At the very least, I’ll be wearing my running skort tomorrow so if I’m not fast, I’ll look good. Some comfort there?

Wish me luck, lovies! This is gonna be GREAT!
