Refocus

It is easy to get frustrated when things don't go the way you want, to not have control or have a definite end point.  I've been doing my best to be patient and reminding myself that my body will be ready, but with my first half ironman 19 weeks away, the continued foot discomfort has been starting to plant doubts in my brain.  I see the numbers on the treadmill and want to push harder, to try to "keep up" with SV but I have to listen to the body and that is the source of my frustration.  My brain and my body aren't agreeing.   I've decided to trick my brain.  Time to refocus..rather than let myself get down about what I am not able to do (run fast) I am challenging myself to do things I normally wouldn't do.  I am practicing Yoga daily and letting my brain focus on the great things I can do.  All the extra Yoga is helping those sad running muscles feel better, totally win-win!!  So for the next 6 weeks I will be refocusing on the positive...can't wait to see what I can get into!
