Its gross...I know...
Oprah, for quite a while now, has been the conscience of america. When she says jump, we all jump. When she says diet, we all diet. When she says look at your poop, we're all looking at our poop. (maybe not all, but enough of a majority, to sway modern economics).
Now a few posts ago I talked about mind over everything. How my boss thinks he hung the moon sometimes, and how I know, I JUST KNOW, that thinking you can do something really seals the deal. More often than not, just believing you can make it, helps you to make it.
I think thats true. In everything we do, a great deal of belief in ourselves is required.
I saw another shirt on the website I was looking at earlier. It said, I planned. I trained. I acomplished.
How true.
but in each of those steps there is a great deal of belief involved. First you have to believe in yourself enough to think that you can eventually acomplish the thing. Then you have to believe in the science of training to actually train. Then you have to believe that you've done all you can do and believe that training worked.
In my last race, I believed that I was going to die. hehe. I wasn't very well trained. I wasn't very ready for the race at all...
So this time...instead of just believing in my ability to cross the line, i'm going to have a little more to believe in.
I'm going to believe that I can goto the post race party and actually party...Instead of wince and cry in pain.
On another note. I'm ready to go. Last night I cut out pictures from my magazine stack with people doing all of the disciplines...and one picture of a girl who STOLE MY BODY! what the crap!
I'm excited to sit and look at them every day and let them guilt trip me into working out every day faithfully.
We'll see.
