"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."
-George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian

Not feeling prepared....

Today I ran three miles. I ran it in 26.29.86. That is a little under 8:50 minute miles. This is my fastest pace yet, but I felt sooooo tired. I wanted to walk the whole time. None of it felt good. I didn't let myself walk because I don't want to ruin the streak I have had. I don't even remember the last time I have walked.
After running this and wanting to give up the whole time, it makes me feel a bit unprepared for the 10k on Saturday. I really want to do it in under an hour. I am fairly confident that I can, but I am really scared that I will want to walk as bad as I wanted to today.
