It's the ...I am truly beginning to understand. It's the mind of the competitor. I'm not there in ability (YET), but I'm certainly getting there in my thought process. However, having grown up being trained to "do less of the wrong thing" it's been my natural tendency to focus on the negative more than the positive. I am learning to make a slight shift to "do MORE of what's right and focus on doing it BETTER". There is a subtle difference. I believe you are making that shift as well.

My 3 day a week running plan involves no junk miles and when I settle for junk miles I really lose ground. Don't be so hard on yourself because even your off races would be my PRs.rundanrunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05957690083045857193noreply@blogger.com
