weekly check-in

Happy Monday! Your inspirational quote for the day comes from Paavo Nurmi, who won 9 gold and 3 silver medals for Finland in middle- and long-distance running events in the 1920, 1924, and 1928 Olympics:

"Mind is everything: muscle--pieces of rubber. All that I am, I am because of my mind."

How was your week, and what do you have planned for this week? And what kind of mental games and tricks do you use to stay on track when running is hard?

My week ended well, with my first official 5k; and I start running again tomorrow because the 5k I want to really do well in is in September.

My mind is always playing tricks on me telling me that I am tired. Usually that's when I start exercising. When I am done, I take satisfaction that I have disciplined my mind instead of letting it trick me into stopping.
