It's a long long way, 105 miles! I can't get my head around it at the moment and just pray that on the day(s) it will kind of fall into place. Am I going to be strong enough to keep moving forward despite being sleep deprived, feeling sick and sore? Will I be able to cope with the emotional roller coaster that it is inevitably going to be? I remember on the 50 having moments thinking 'this is ridiculous! Why am I putting myself through all this!?' The 100 will be the same only I will be having those thoughts much more frequently and the desire to stop will be strong. What is going to keep me going? I really need to think about what I am going to do to try and get me through the moments that really test me and where I am on the brink of stopping...
1. It's not 105 miles, it's _ miles to the next check point and food stop
2. Turning any negative mindset into a positive...my legs are so sore, well they're not falling off 😜
3. If I stop I'll have to wait an awfully long time to get back so may as well keep going
4. Count or sing something in my head when the going gets really tough to distract me from the pain.
And I kind of get stuck. I am trying to visualise myself getting to each checkpoint, and getting to the end. How good it will feel to achieve the goal I've set myself. Just hoping and praying that I make it and that I can enjoy some of it along the way.
