Today was another battle with #2. i got up after 6 hours of sleep and thought maybe i should get more rest. then i thought, my brain has to overcome my body being tired. so then i stretched, got a little drink and went outside to run. i was about to start and the urge to go #2 hit, again. i knew if i went back inside i would not run, and anyway i was late so i did not have time to go back inside. so i headed off for a 6 mile run. fighting the urge the entire time, i made it back home before #2 got the best of me. i was also fighting draining snot the entire time i was running. i have not blown that much snot out of my nose in the last 5 years combined.
my time this morning for the 6 miles was 57:18.16, that gave me a pace right at 9:30min/mile. not too bad for a 6 mile run. i also got to shoot my bow about 20 times this afternoon.
in the morning i have a 4 mile run. i am getting a little tired again, hope i can get up.
tomorrow night we are also moving a lot of the stuff from the old office to the new office so i will not be able to run in the afternoon. then this weekend i am on call, hopefully i will be able to run early sunday morning.
here are more quotes from The Mental Game of Baseball A Guide to Peak Performance, "Each time we confront fear we gain courage. We become more confident that reality is not as bad as the threat." The successes we achieved in our past are more real than the failures we fear in our future." confront your fears, remember, the outcome of failure probably isn't that bad, but the reward of success is sweet. without much risk you can't accomplish much.
