I take that back. I have logs from when I tried various running programs back in 2002, 2006, and 2011. Those attempts didn’t exactly stick – maybe I never figured out how to push myself, maybe I didn’t want it bad enough at the time.
But today is a new day.
Recently I asked a friend why I still struggle with running since I’m definitely more fit than I used to be. She asked if it was my legs or my lungs that were the problem. And then I realized that it was neither. Yes, they both feel uncomfortable at various times but the problem is mostly mental.
Guess what: defeatist thoughts don’t help – duh! I found a quote today that stated, “If you think you can’t run, just stop thinking.” Ha! So simple! So no more negativity and so what if it didn’t work in the past.
I said, “Today is a new day!”
So I found a bunch of motivational running images and quotes for personal inspiration. Most are saved on my own computer for future reference but I’ll post a few here in case they help anyone else.
Whatever your goal, whether running or otherwise, you’ve got to get your head in the game and it needs to be on YOUR side!
