It's not records I chase, it's self-improvement. And that cannot be done by taking it easy.
Just seize every opportunity you have, embrace every experience. Make a mark, for all the right reasons.
When things are tough, you get tougher.
Never, ever give up. And smile
Pick your battles, and accept yourself for who you are.
The key is to trust in your preparation. You have done all you can, so focus on that fact. You will remain the same person before, during and after the race, so the result, however important, will not define you. The journey is what matters.
