I succumbed. I ran my first 8km (4x2km) in 10 years today. The familiar scents of the rubber track and freshly cut grass juxtaposed with the consciousness I'm no longer running as a student. Through the humdrum of pounding feet, a few thoughts dropped in:
1. Without an end, the same task gets dreadful
2. The nearer to the end, the further it looks
3. Focus on the task, the process, the environment, the end, the goal, anything but yourself. Being self-centred gives up hope, and welcomes negativity
4. Breaks, work. But too many breaks pull you back.
5. Know yourself to be able to achieve more.
6. Negotiate and compromise, but never give up hope.
I am ready for my first speaking engagement!
