I Will Be Changed

Seven days from today, I leave to go to the windy city to run a half marathon.

I've been writing for days about how anxious, excited, hopeful and at times afraid that I am for the experience.

I'm trying to view it as an adventure and to relish in the moments.

So, as I'm visualizing me in Chicago, and particularly as I run my last 13-mile training run tomorrow...I plan to meditate on the following:

I am strong.

I am trained.

I am powerful.

I am at peace.

I am open.

I will be changed.
