I think it's good to get that nervous feeling before a big race. The day I don't get that feeling it's time to find a new hobby. But I also do not want it to completely consume me.<br /><br />How nice of Mother Nature to play that April Fools joke on you!

I tend to hang onto my goals for dear life, and that is not a good thing!<br /><br />I'm relatively calm before races, because I do trust my training. Performing? That's a different story.

Most people are too worried about themselves to be thinking of you and how you may feel ! <br /><br />Also, taking up yoga really helped.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08174117051129860779noreply@blogger.com
