2008 - Autumn

[El Gordo]

Another physiological oddball: I remember reading about a guy who ran across the USA. His secret? Don't drink any fluids. He summed it up something like this: "If I drink water, I sweat, and need to drink more water. So best not to have any, and avoid the problems it causes".

Like most people, I'm sure I'm susceptible to all sorts of 'limiting beliefs' which we need to battle against -- but at the same time, we do gradually understand out what works best for us and what doesn't.

Just to clarify, I'm definitely going to Brighton, whether I run or not. I'm 80% sure I'll take part. It will be a pretty grim plod, but I don't want to miss it. I'm just annoyed with myself for letting the momentum slip at the wrong time. Would have been better to have had a break after it, not before. Doh!
