every now and again. Put away your training manual. Quit overthinking it. Run for today.
This is kick in the butt # 92 and its just what I need to hear in preparation for tonight's 6 miles with a killer hill run. I am running with Julie and Nigel who will both kick my butt so I need to just run it to feel good and enjoy the fresh air, scenary and to clear my head not to be obsessing about not being able to double the distance in just 11 days time.
Running stands for no nonsense. The minute a negative thought comes into your head that's it your body slows down and stops. If that is what happens when you are running the same is true (although less obvious) in all other areas of life. It's a good reminder. So tonight, I will just enjoy my run, if I have to stop and walk I will but it won't be because I am telling myself I can't do it.
Come to think of it this kick in the butt is a good general kick - stop overthinking things, put away the plans and to do list and live for today...
PS - please give me extra brownie points because it is raining outside!
