Positive Mental Attitude

[Pete1w]

I read an online article about PMA. Trying not to think about the bad stuff, the weather, how far is left to run, my legs hurt, my breathing is bad, why aren't I still in bed!! I went out this morning with the intention of an 8 K fartlek (I hate that word) run. Even though it started snowing I had a great time. I broke my 10K PB and it really boosted my confidence for the HM in April. Enjoy your Sunday girls and boys.....

Wow, well done!

Perhaps it would help even more if you thought of fartleks as "speed play"?

[Pete1w in reply to roseabi]

Not sure if speed play sounds even more dubious.😁 Perhaps I just have a strange mind.

What a great way to start the day! Well done!🙂

Wow that's fantastic and definitely food for thought (though on today's run my levels of breathlessness were my pace markers- I need to turn that to a positive I guess 😀)
