Marathon: Another heart to heart

Fuck. The marathon is coming up. I do not feel ready at all. 76 days and counting. What the fuck have I gotten myself into.

Concerns

Regret

I will kick myself if I don’t run this marathon on that particular day. I have a visual in my mind. A visual I constructed in December 2022.

Reorientation and Plan

I am going to cram for this exam, like I have done in the past before.
