My goal race should have been on Sunday 24th... I trained a lot for it (8 weeks of a hard plan) but: - got cough from my kids last week - my father-in-law died 2 days ago and I was the one injecting him the last morphine shot (he had an esophageal cancer from June) - not slept for 2 nights tried to run this morning at slow pace, but my physical condition is very bad. my mental strength is also weak. stress levels over the top. currently I don't even know if I want to run the race or not. I'm emptied in the body and mind. let's see if something changes between now and Sunday... I don't know why I'm writing here those negative vibes, but you are my community and a way for me to escape from the tough reality of these days.

Wow! It is a lot. Life happens and it always come first. You had a beautiful race some days ago. I know it is not what you aimed for, but it was your best. I would wait and see and maybe do a more relaxed run on Sunday? You already have you best time and run. Maybe this one will help you center you if you don’t push too much?

yeah, I thought the same. the last race was my best and 1:25 was the goal. so I'm already satisfied. I was secretly aiming for 1:24:59 for Sunday, but now I'm not in the mood for it. let's see. maybe I will pace a friend for his PR or try to push hard and see if I can withstand with the pace... dunno. I just need something to distract my mind from those terrible images of the last few days
