Sharing lesson #8274 from my extremely immediately:
I nearly let my desires die as a result of I used to be drained throughout my 50 miler. I had a dream of finishing a 50 miler and at mile 33 after I sat down and cried I nearly let my fatigue take over for my dream. We follow enduring over the months of coaching. We follow not quitting time and time once more. And when race day comes we have now to endure properly (until you have got an harm or medical situation) and never let the fatigue take these desires away.
We HAVE to drawback remedy. We’ve got to be cussed. We’ve got to recollect our WHY. We can not accept lower than what we all know we’ve labored so laborious for. We can not let it slip out of our fingers. Our brains surrender lengthy earlier than our physique truly does. We deserve nice issues so we will’t let the emotions of tiredness inform us to decelerate or to stroll off the course.
We are going to really feel higher once more, we are going to achieve a pep in our step and we HAVE to determine how to sort things. We will’t simply let issues occur to us, we have now to do one thing about it. Drink extra, eat extra, concentrate on the issues that don’t damage, speak to ourselves out loud if we have to, placed on our energy track, rely our steps, pump our arms tougher, take some caffeine, follow deep respiration and most of all, take into consideration how grateful we’re to have a physique that enables us to do nice issues on this beautiful world of ours.
No matter you do, don’t let your desires die as a result of your mind is telling you that you’re drained. You’re going to really feel so much worse afterwards if you happen to surrender on your self than you do throughout that second of ache.
Simply put one foot in entrance of the opposite and hope in good issues to return as a result of they at all times do come, simply not at all times within the timing we wish them to return.
PS It’s enjoyable to do issues that you simply as soon as couldn’t even think about doing. Vicki despatched me an electronic mail final week that I had despatched to her in 2013. She had advised me about her 50 miler and I wrote again to her that I couldn’t even think about doing that… it’s cool to beat these boundaries we arrange for ourselves in our brains.
