I love that moment when the end is in sight. It gives me that second wind that I didn’t know I had. It’s that feeling of sprinting the last 100 yards of a run and believing that I’m almost flying; of pushing that one last set of weights and knowing “I got this;” of seeing the culmination of my many well-laid plans come together, more or less, and knowing that whatever the result, I know that I did my best. Self-doubt has already been burned away, completely destroyed in the face of seeing the end. And, at that moment, there is no next time yet, so I don’t need to reflect on my performance, nor strategize how to run faster, push harder, and, overall, be better.
That moment is all about feeling unstoppable, and reveling in the knwledge that I’ve already won, I just need to finish.
Just. Finish. And then, celebrate your success, whatever it may be.

I don’t have the end it sight yet, but I am hoping that this weekend puts a dent in it.
Yay! Go you! I know you can do it! ^_^
Amen, Liza!
I am near the finish line, too. I am just soooooo close. It’s exciting, but also a little scarly. In a few months, I will be querying. **GACK** Scary.
I’m excited for you! Just take it one step at a time, and finish strong…I’ll definitely check in with you and see how you’re progressing!!
This is why you need to move your Y’all lovin’ self to Texas. Se we can celebrate often. And kick ass in general.
That would be the life, my friend, and definitely not outside the realm of possibility! ^_^ (I need to AT LEAST swing by for a visit!)
