Been away from WordPress for so long that I nearly forgot my login details! Damn, where did the month go? Well this I guess is what happens when you start something new. You dive wholeheartedly into it and, for the first few months, shed everything else that might hold you down.
That plus you don’t wanna screw this new thing up, ya know? You gotta put your heart, mind and soul into it. LIke signing up for an ultra. You can’t rock up on the day with no prep before. You need to invest — time, sweat, tears.
And that’s what I’ve been doing for the past month and 10 days. Workin my butt off at the new job (please support Shape mag!), while juggling tough training weeks for tomorrow’s Sundown Ultra.
A three-peat. Of course I’m going for it, but in a sense, I’m not going at it. Because I believe you can’t control how fast the others are gonna run (and my, there’s some good competition this year). All I can say is I will do my best, I’ll run my heart out, I’ll push every muscle in my body… and leave the rest to God. Two is a mighty fine record already if you ask me… three will be sweet, but if it doesn’t happen, I’m defo not gonna beat myself up over it.
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”
Proverbs 3:5-6
