Feeling pretty good about myself these days. Back on track with my IFM training, not sick anymore and have to-date have lost 10 pounds (so much lighter which makes training easier).
I was at a 1/2 marathon clinic this evening catching up with some friends I have not seen in a while and the guest speaker, Two Tall Dave, was talking about goal setting and motivation. During his talk he asked people what motivates/inspires us, he asked me directly and I did not have to even think about it, my answer was "ME".
Some may say this seems a bit self centered, but honestly I can talk myself into most anything, because I know I can do it. I am training for my first 1/2 Ironman for goodness sake and already have myself convinced I can do a full Ironman NEXT YEAR, I all I said was "hey you can do it!"
Now don't get me wrong, I could not always motivate myself the way I do these days. In the past I used such tools as, music, poems, quotes and friends. But these days I just know with all I have done in these last 7 years since I got off my sofa and started running that I can do most anything I set my mind to.....and so can you!
