Training Tuesday: 13.1 Thoughts Had During A Half Marathon

1. THIS IS AMAZING. I FEEL AMAZING. WE ARE AMAZING. LIFE IS GREAT!

2. Why is that person wearing that Wheres Waldo costume and how can they be running so fast?!?

3. Why is everyone passing me. My feet are still moving right?!

4. First Aid Station already?!?. I don't need water. I feel great. I'm just going to keep on moving!

5. Wow runners are really terrible at getting things (water cups, gels, etc.) in that trash can. Good thing we aren't expected to make any sort of goals while running this fast because we would all definitely lose!

6. The sun is really warm. Did someone pull it closer to us? I'm sweating my weight out here!

7. Pass the halfway mark- score! I've totally got this. I'm way under my time goal. PR I'm coming for you!

8. 5 more miles left?!? There is NO WAY I'm going to make it. WHERE is this next aid station? I think I may die out here. Cue I Think I'm Dying face. 

9. Wow that is a really big hill. I don't remember seeing THAT on the course elevation chart. 

10. 3 miles left. I got this. Just put one foot in front of the other. Running is really hard. 

11. I want some pizza after this! Oh, and ice cream and candy and pasta and a burger. I burned all of these calories right?!?

12. One mile left....one mile is so far. There's no way I'm getting to that finish line in one piece.

13. *crosses finish line* Oh look, bling! 

.1 I'm definitely doing that again!

What thoughts do you have while running a half marathon?
