I have two days till the race.  This week has been rough on me when it comes to my workouts. I did a light workout monday, played tennis tuesday and did nothing yesterday.  My body isn’t used to taking it easy and it is effecting my mood. I’m not in a good mood.

I am looking forward to the race, even though now I’m starting to worry about how I will do. I have found a flaw in my character, training method, or personality, not sure what this falls under. About 2 to 3 weeks before a race I lose all motivation to train.  Which is odd because I keep working out, just not at the intensity that I feel I should. Also I seem to lose some focus on my goal, l begin to have a feeling of "just wanting to get this over with."  I’m starting to think that this is a defeatism character flaw that exists within me; drop off on my training so I won’t be disappointed if I don’t do as well as I feel I should and then internally blame it on the lack of training.
