I'm trying not to be.... :) <BR/>I use things like - you've done this before, you know you can make it (which seems fairly positive). <BR/>When I'm about to die, I sometimes make myself think, what really hurts? Nothing really hurts that bad, you can do this. (that one could probably go either way!)<BR/><BR/>I agree with you though about the conditioning. I went to the pool yesterday with the kids. What a mental ordeal about how much I am running versus shouldn't I look as good as the other moms....geez. <BR/><BR/>Trying to be positive if it kills me,<BR/>NancyNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14684236668997938263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468885075741803050.post-7209323741607816472007-07-19T07:26:00.000-06:002007-07-19T07:26:00.000-06:00It's only a hill, anyone can do it.Too far, too hi...It's only a hill, anyone can do it.<BR/><BR/>Too far, too high, too long ... are you looking for an excuse<BR/><BR/>Someone will ask about your run later.<BR/><BR/>Dig in, dig in<BR/><BR/>It's only you and the roadRobert Barkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10989846919612674687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468885075741803050.post-32232310252936946032007-07-19T07:07:00.000-06:002007-07-19T07:07:00.000-06:00Right now I have a training partner, so I just thi...Right now I have a training partner, so I just think to myself "I bet that bastard ran hard tonight"...and off I go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468885075741803050.post-34024700428077357162007-07-19T05:47:00.000-06:002007-07-19T05:47:00.000-06:00You made me think about what I do say.
