“He who falls and gets up didn’t fall, he only stumbled”
The last couple of weeks have been inconsistent. The mental side of things play such a big part even before the race is won.
It has been hard to maintain the mental focus in whilst niggles and tiredness kick in. Getting up in the mornings and keeping the right attitude up are the tough things. At the back of any runners mind is the thought “Have I done enough miles?” The answer to that question is always “no”, but it nevers make you feel any better.
I was reminded from an ironman this week that it is better to be underdone that overdone, which was a nice reminder that things could be worse. It gave me a good dosage of motivation though, so it’s back on the road again…

“To achieve all that is possible,
we must attempt the impossible.
To be all we can be, we must dream of being more.
To reach our dreams,
we must reach out to others”
John C Maxwell
