Thanks and keep up the great work- you are such an inspiration!!Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03003556826386351573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2053710396476222342.post-88611651957785354442009-10-12T08:37:27.825-07:002009-10-12T08:37:27.825-07:00For many of us, our bodies have been calling the s...For many of us, our bodies have been calling the shots for years: "take a nap," "have a cupcake," "watch TV," "engage in self-loathing," "believe you just can't run or exercise." I agree this is a mental battle. It's like breaking a horse. My body doesn't want what I'm trying to do with it, yet, if I can just ignore those voices, I find out that I can do surprisingly more than I ever thought possible.<br /><br />This morning was no exception. As we started, running in the snow, my mind flashed back to seeing some other runner in our town who was running during a snowfall. "She's just nuts!" is what I thought at the time. Today I realized that she hadn't been nuts. She was probably out there fighting her own voices, trying to finish her own training program for reasons solely her own.<br /><br />That's the only reason why I was out there this morning. I agreed to do this program and I would rather die than just give up on it. Perhaps the only reason why I can approach this with such fervor is because I know that dying was going to be on the agenda sooner rather than later if I did not do something.<br /><br />Just keep on pushing through it! I just finished W7D1 of the program today. I ran for 25 minutes, and just six short weeks ago I had problems completing the 90 second runs! Get out there, tell the voices to shut up (yell and scream, if necessary, and not in a residential neighborhood before 7 AM), and keep at it!FatManRunninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08560610681483078527noreply@blogger.com
