Year 3 week 21

21st – 27th May 2018

It’s now less than 2 weeks before I go to Kenya. My training is going ok and I am starting to think on what to pack.

Last year when I signed up I was a bag of nerves and it wasn’t just the fact I was doing a half marathon – it was also because I was going alone. Over the years I stopped doing things on my own and started getting anxieties about the thought of it.

So last year was quite a big step for me. I was so glad I overcame my nerves because I had the best week.

This year when I signed up I didn’t have any nerves at all – in fact I was more excited than nervous.

With less than 2 weeks before I go it is now becoming very real and I have to say those nerves have hit. I have even resorted to biting my finger nails.

I am quite surprised by these nerves because this year I know what to expect, I know how much fun I am going to have, I even feel like I am not going alone as I will be with some of the same people from last year. So I am wondering why the nerves.

I think it’s probably because of the challenge. Just because I did a half marathon before doesn’t mean I can do it again. I feel these nerves are good because it shows me I am taking it seriously.

One thing I have learnt is that challenges are nerve racking but the reward is so much greater once it’s all accomplished.
