I'm doubting my ability. I'm completely doubting the condition I'm in - whatever that is now! Man, these shin splints completely threw me off mentally.
I have been drinking water all day. And drinking coffee. Counterproductive, I know. So I've been adding even MORE water. I'm cutting out dairy tomorrow too. I am not risking any messy business during my run if you catch my drift.
Dear self: relax. Each race will be a lesson and a preparation for the next one.
Tomorrow I will post my pre-race rituals. Then Sunday is D-Day.

What are your pre-race rituals? What stretches do you "make sure" and incorporate before a run?
My ritual is double hair buns, drink a giant glass of water when I first wake up (helps to make the PRD happen), and caffeine (don't do coffee so usually 5-hour energy). I rarely do static stretches before, just Swing my legs around a bunch to get the blood flowing. Good luck on sunday!
