Thoughts

So after my track workout yesterday, I got this message. It's mental. It's all mental. What's preventing me from running faster at almost all distances is my mind.

I won't get into track splits or that minutiae today. Suffice to say that what I did shows that I can run faster than I have been running.

On another note, some quotes from Edmund Hillary:

“It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.”

"You don’t have to be a fantastic hero to do certain things – to compete. You can be just an ordinary chap, sufficiently motivated.”

“People do not decide to become extraordinary. They decide to accomplish extraordinary things.”
