Positive Thoughts

Ok, I started the day on a positive, my resting heart rate was 'excellent' - obviously good at resting, not too much practice needed there then.  Felt a little more energetic this morning and although we only did 25 minutes I felt we upped the pace ever so slightly.  My heart rate at the end of this 25 minutes was in the 'good' zone . . . just!

I'm trying to train myself to think positive thoughts while I run, this morning I was just 'loving' the refreshingly icy water that was peppering my face, and when I got the hop, skip and jumps around the large puddles wrong and landed square in the middle of one causing a tidal wave of freezing mud to soak my jogging bottoms I thought 'where in the world would you rather be?'  I think I have to accept that the brain training is just as important as all the other training, believing it's possible, having the confidence to believe that I, me . . . who can't really do very much very well, can and will do this, the rest is just effort, commitment and time.
