I am super grouchy, and super nervous. And I think the marathon is partially (ok, probably more than partially) to blame.
Ever since I started tapering, I have not been feeling well about the race. I feel like my mind is off. And I feel like my body is off. My legs feel weird. So weird that I actually considered placing a ‘Wanted’ add for a new left leg. Maybe while I am at it I should place a ‘Wanted’ add for a new mindset as well.
I keep hearing from people that these feelings, both mental and physical, are “normal”. Even if they are “normal”, I need to shake them ASAP. I cannot go into the race with this mentality.
Whew, so there we go – those are my feelings right now. And writing these feelings down actually did help a bit. If you know of any other things that might help me, please pass them along. I don’t know what my deal is, but I need some encouragement right now.
This grumpasaurus is signing off for the night.
Thinking happy thoughts that tomorrow goes better than today!

This is why I’m avoiding you!! We have an exciting weekend ahead, so kick back and enjoy. The best is yet to come!!
Love, Mom
I feel the same way sometimes. It is easy to stay in your cofromt zone. I also have some self-diagnosed social anxiety and much prefer animals to people, but I have to break that habit and socialize with the humans more. I hope you succeed in this new direction!
