9 days And I Better Get Packing

The days are flying by and one week from tomorrow, I'll be on a plane to the Himalayas. With only a few run days left, all I think to myself as I work out: DON'T GET INJURED. The next week is probably the most important. I've started to drink lots of water. For some reason that will help the altitude sickness.

I have one week not only to pack my suitcase but to pack my mind. In the book, The Secret, it says that whatever we want we can have. Whatever thoughts we put out there will happen. So if we continually dwell on the negative, then we will bring that into our lives.

I need to believe in me. I've done the homework. I've spent the long hours training. There is no more progress physically I can do at this point with only 1 week to go. Now that's not going to stop me from doing a long run this weekend! All that is left there is to maintain.

But your mind is something that will always improve. Negative thoughts will enter, but to stay strong is to filter them and really hear what is being said. I don't believe in the gloom and doom. The sun will always find the time to shine.

Let's hope the sun will shine on me with my new task at hand.
