This week I had to try something new called being positive while running up Galbraith 12 times, or with a positive spin- only 6 times twice. 6 times on Wednesday and 6 times today. Here's another positive spin- I only fell down once and only almost fell- well who needs to really keep track of that? But I could have got horribly injured, I could have fallen off the top of the mountain and landed in downtown Bellingham but I didn't! Plus I passed so many bikers I felt like a car, except allowed to hit them.
But really, if you practice being positive when you are doing workouts you are more likely to be positive during your race and then you are more likely to beat people, which is the point of being positive right? Part of being positive means you lie to yourself, like when you are repeat one and you tell yourself- I'm almost done! And part of it means telling yourself the truth like- you run 30 miles sometimes, with lots of hills, so if you really were going to drop dead it would take a lot longer than this workout.
This workout on Wednesday was really tough for me, I was tougher but still, was very sore afterwards and needed a cane to do my cool down. Plus you know you are getting tired when you trip uphill! Today I thought I was still a little tired from Wednesday when I started but when I finished I felt a whole lot better than on Wednesday when everything was shaking. Even after climbing the stairs I am not dead, and better- I don't even want to be!
One thing worries me though- is being positive funny?
