P.U.S.H

This morning when I awoke for my long run I felt the #resistance weighing strong. Every excuse started piling on; you didn’t get enough sleep, you didn’t plan your route, you’re legs are sore, you can do it later, you have work, etc.

I hit the snooze button, but instantly the months of consistently #training my mind kicked in and I realized I’ve been here before. I knew if I just got up and started the process I would not regret it and so I arose.

My run felt terrible, it was windy and raining. I wanted to give up and turn around. I kept telling myself “I got out the door it was good enough right?” … “once I get to that point, I’ll just cut it short”.

This to me is the part that needs the most attention when training for #ultramarathons. You have to #PUSH (Persist Until Something Happens). What happened when I pushed was I got to reminding myself of the challenge ahead and that big goals take massive action. I locked in and kept moving forward.

Your mind is the muscle that will determine your fate. When the resistance creeps in oppose it with #massiveaction. This compounded over time will take you to places you couldn’t imagine.

Happy Training Y’all!
