Anyone else getting antsy for fall races? I still have two months until the Chicago Marathon, which isn’t a lot of time but it’s also too much time, but I know it’s probably the perfect amount of time but it still might not be enough time. Has time stopped? Why is time flying by? Do you think Chicago would give me more time? Is time even real? I go through this endless cycle of doubt before every marathon. Wrestling between feeling like I’m not doing enough or that I’m doing too much. To combat these anxious thoughts, I try to refocus on the here and now. Taking each day as it comes, good or bad or somewhere in between. It can feel boring and neverending at times, but it allows me to not get ahead of myself. I treat this time like I do the middle portion of a marathon. Just gotta get into a rhythm and float along. Doing my best to not overthink anything. This allows me to take in everything I am truly feeling and realize I am doing precisely what I need to. Trust the process. Trust the training. Trust yourself. #marathontraining #chicagomarathon #marathonrunning 📸: @asics x @l_nemeroff
