Learning when to hold back.

Tomorrow, I’ll line up for the Vincennes Half Marathon with a rather unfamiliar feeling. For the first time, I’m going into a race knowing I won’t empty the tank. I have to admit, it feels strange, even a little frustrating. But the Athens Marathon is only three weeks away, and I’m convinced that saving my energy for that goal is the right call. When you love competing, choosing not to give 100% does not come naturally. Perhaps progress also means learning which battles to choose. Could this finally be a sign of maturity? 😅
