Race day is just different 🤷‍♀️

I didn’t feel confident going into this race because I hadn’t had any killer workouts, the most I had run at half pace was 5xMile, and I’d only done 2 runs over 13 miles. However, I ended up feeling strong and being able to run far better than any of my workouts. None of my training indicated that I could run 5:20 pace for a half marathon or close in a 5:06, but race day is different. Don’t forget to believe in yourself & remember that there’s a magic to race day that cannot be explained ⚡️🔥
