Quote:Sometimes you just run out of steam. You quite unexpectedly step off some invisible edge; disappear down some unnoticed open manhole. Often it takes a while to notice that it's happened at all, then a bit longer to accept that you're stuck there: at the bottom of some hole, peering up through the darkness at your old life, wishing you were back there. Eventually the negative wishing becomes the positive planning, and the climbing starts once again. Slowly at first, then much quicker than you'd feared.
I have printed this extract from Andy's diary, and keep it by the computer at home where it stares at me.
It's spot on! After the negative wishing of the last few weeks, really not being able to face even getting changed; driving home I actually contemplated a run this evening. Sadly it didn't happen as my wife had made spag bol, (which I'm sure you'll know is illegal to drink without a glass of red), but the positive planning is returning - so thank you to all who have made the difference to the way I feel, given me back my mojo (as it were).
I entered a 1/2 today for the 22 Feb.
My training begins in earnest...............
In early January.
