The day before the race

I'm nervous. I'm sure I have everything, just as I am sure that I've forgotten something. Any negative thoughts that creep in, I banish. I'm doing this race for me, for my health, for my enjoyment. And I will have a good time. As my race-buddy, Dele, reminds me, "Attitude is everything."

All I can say is that I have come a long way since training began twelve weeks ago. My first race. All I can say is that this is a dream come true.
