Positive thoughts

This week is about one thing. Positive thoughts. Well, its also about hydrating, carbo loading, sleeping, and stretching, but positive thoughts are really important. And this is not an easy task for me. Since Saturday, I was trying to figure out how I am going to get past the anxiety and nerves to have positive thoughts. And then I read this from the Run Oregon blog in the Eugene Marathon preview post:

"The final .2:
So, this is it. You've just run 26 miles so what's left to talk about? History. Heritage. Legacy. Oh, and one finish line you're not going to forget anytime soon. You see, you're going to be finishing on hallowed ground. I might sound a little dramatic about it, but trust me, crowds in Eugene at Hayward Field love one thing and one thing only, the finish of a great distance race. When you enter the track and hear the noise coming from THE West Grandstand, run tall, run proud... oh, and don't forget to smile!"

Goosebumps. Let's freaking do this.
