Race Weekend and the Ton of Butterflies in Stomach

It’s the Delhi Half Marathon weekend and the race starts in 12 hours… am i excited? no! Am i petrified? yes!

This training block was not specifically focused on a half marathon. But it was supposed to have a speedy half marathon before a trail ultra. After a great start to the block during summer and extending to monsoon, somewhere in September things fell apart… some illness and some niggles and a work trip – i was ‘slowed down’… and, a recent triggering of an old niggle I have no chance of even betting my last year’s time – forget about a PB!

Races scare me… and, tomorrow’s is scary like any other.

I am going to put my body through so much pain and hope I won’t break or give up!
