upon completion of the video i not only wanted to hit the gym and run about a million miles. but i wanted to take my training to the next level. a level that would remind me why i was doing this all in the first place. a level that although required baby steps, would eventually get me to that finish line. and that very evening while in the pool, i found myself smiling because i finally nailed that damn flip turn. all. by. myself.
so maybe you'll see me smiling up those PV hills in the coming months on my new ride. because really in the end, being happy with yourself is really what its all about.
Whenever I needed motivation, I would watch Chrissie. That smile is CONTAGIOUS!! And running with a smile truly makes the journey more spectacular.
ReplyDeleteTidbit - on race day: no matter what you're feeling and what is hurting....SMILE. If you smile enough, you'll start THINKING you're happy. AND - the spectators get that much more pumped with the "happy" Ironman folks (rather than those who look like they want to curl up in the fetal position).
So happy you are finding that positive inspiration!!
I love Chrissie Wellington! She is such an inspiration and always seems so happy!
