Stay focus

I have been faithful to my running shoes. Three times a week , I try to clock in the kilometres at the stadium. If I stay off the running tracks for a while , regaining stamina is more than difficult. It is like trying to restart an old car ... once I get the momentum going , I shouldn't stop. I need to stay focus.

Easier said than done , to stay focus I need cooperation from every part of my limbs. Each time I hit the running tracks , it is a challenge. Not only convince my limbs to exert extra energy , but to convince my brain not to give up.

The on-going battle gets harder each time a faster runner overtakes us. I need to remind myself to stick to my own mission of finishing the set objectives of 20 or 25 laps. Running after a faster runner usually throws me off my rhythm and pushes me to the brink of giving up. I try to reassure myself .. practise makes perfect and .. no shortcuts to success !

Of course, I need to remind myself .. I have a fridge magnet that says " you must do the thing that you think you cannot do " . Oh well ...
