I woke up in a very energetic mood this morning. I think that's the magics of sleeping one hour longer than usual, until I got a phone call at 8am from a friend who, unfortunately forced me to wake up.
Everything is ready for tomorrow. I am in a very positive attitude, my body is responding adequately to any type of input. But my psychological state is what really matters.
I don't feel scared anymore (yes, there was a time I was kind of freaking out thinking about the distance). That moment has just gone and been replaced by the will to accomplish a goal that has been in the waiting queue for such a long time.
Only four months ago I was struggling with a stress fracture, living in a state of depression due to the fact that there was no running after breakfast and no running during my lunch break.
Not today.
I hope that bad injury is not waking up tomorrow. That would be really a big disappointment. After all, that's what runners always have to deal with.

I am temporarily living in Brussels with my friend Gianluca and his place is really where any serious runner would love to be.
We have learned our special way to start the day with a proper breakfast. Oatmeal, honey, walnuts and other seeds, soy milk, banana chips, cereal bread and italian coffee. And that's only our breakfast!
Almond and arnica oil for sport massage before and after workout, and of course a number of mineral salts and magnesium to support our long runs.

Nothing more to add. Except that I am going out for a 30 minute run, to talk to my body and listen to what it has to say.
