Spiritual Moment While Running Race

I ran with pace group (7:28/mile) and dropped them at 7 mile. At mile 8, I saw one of the nike moonshot training partner (Matt) who was in the group I left behind in the previous long run. I wanted to show him that I’m better than that. The competitiveness energy drove me. Then crisis came. I felt like the weak mind tried to close the door. The strong mind hold the door using his whole body and saying “keep going motherfucker”. I kept going at mile 9. I felt that the door was slowly opening. I was getting faster and faster. I dared to close my eyes. The stride getting wider and wider. At mile 9.75, I felt really stronger. Definitely, something was unlocked and gave me power at mile 9. It was interesting spiritual moment. Shout out to David Goggins.
