Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will” words I repeat often to myself
3 years without doing a running race, I use to race until I found Hyrox and lately I have been missing my running races but had this doubt within me. especially a half marathon, in 3 years I have only hit 13.1 miles in 2 of my Sunday long runs on my own but
Less then a week ago I booked a very last minute Half marathon which was a trail half marathon at Richmond park.
All week I was talking myself out of it and then this morning I wasn’t sure I would go but so pleased I did because not only did I do ok, I remember why I loved to do running races 🥹
I didn’t go out there to race today and told myself to just enjoy it and not once did I look at my clock or know what placement I was within the race. I just felt comfortable and ran and when I finished and they said overall 2nd lady I couldn’t believe it and felt actually really emotional 🥹 proud of myself for making myself do it.
I have booked another 2 running races which are 10km trail runs and will look at another half marathon again soon.
Definitely not moving away from Hyrox, already have 3 Hyrox races booked plus a hybrid games and looking forward to the start of the season ❤️
