Ok so I’ve been training for about 6 weeks for the marathon.
Here is the percentage of time I have felt the following ways:
Extremely tired: 30%
Pooped: 20%
Superhuman: 10%
Oh-my-God-I’m-injured: 7%
Confident that I’m on track: 25%
Why am I doing this: 3%
Normal: 5%
In case you are wondering, this is what "exhausted" looks like
And this is "pooped."
