Thanks to a breakfast function at Parramatta (had to be there at 7.15am, OMG!), dinner with a girlfriend tonight & my orthotics being adjusted, at about 3pm today I decided to make today a rest day. It was all too hard.
My glute hasn't responded particularly well to yesterday's phyio's treatment - ie it is still v. tight. Given that I have to get used to my new orthotics over the next few days, the plan is:
Friday: swim
Saturday: run (40mins very easy) + Satan
Sunday: run (60mins) around Centennial Park with Lulu and Owl (my first time running on consecutive days), followed by brunch with the Owl and a certain Jedi master who I am very much looking forward to meeting :-)
The speaker at the function this morning was Shelly Taylor-Smith who, I discovered this morning, is the only woman ever to hold both the mens and womens world records in an event. Incredible :-) It was a fantastic presentation and (for me) very timely. I need some time to get my thoughts together but what I took away from it was this: if you focus on what you want, you will create it. Focus on what you don't want, and you will create it. I must confess that my thoughts around the Half have, more often than not, been focused on what I don't want. Not anymore :-)

Hey Jen - this is one that works for me:
Ultimate power is the ability to produce the results you desire most and create value in the process.
Power is the ability to change your life, to shape your perceptions, to make things work for you and not against you. Real power is shared, not imposed.
It's the ability to define human needs and fulfil them - both your needs and the needs of the people you care about.
It's the ability to direct your own personal kingdom - your own thought processes, your own behaviour - so you produce the precise results you desire
;-) 2P
That sounds like a great talk to be at! Another way of looking at life that I should put into play! 2p... how so wise????
So CC here you come!!!
Glad you've found another way to think positively about the Half Jen - it will be a wonderful day for you, with everyone there to support you when you achieve it.
I can't wait to see the elated look on your face once you cross that line and know that you've achieved (provided I get to the line before you ...)
