I figured out today on a run that my inner voice is not my friend at times, its sometimes helpful but most of  the time its dangerous to my growth, it questions me, frustrates me, amplifies thoughts that shouldn't be. i did a fire walk once and during the pre walk talk the guide told us to calm our inner voice, tell it to keep quite, shut the fuck up!!!! its time my inner voice took the hint.

following my withdrawal from the 6633 race, i have decided that i want to focus on running a faster marathon, i have chosen Manchester because of the April 19th date, which gives me  time to recover and focus training on comrades 2015. in addition to Manchester, i also plan to run Newport half and Reading half as fast training runs in preparation for Manchester.

its been an interesting week, fuzzy, dazed and confused. this weeks word of the week is inspiring, are you?

Let's go, Don. We gotta get out of here, buddy. We gotta get out of here, let's go fucking run! Let's run like we're fucking lions and tigers and bears! Let's go! Let's fucking run!

its a great question to which i have no answer at the moment, but its coming, it feels like one of those magic eye pictures, briefly coming into focus and then disappearing but its coming

follow months of deliberation I have decided not to take part in the 2015 6633 race, its been a difficult decision to make but i feel I'm making some significant progress in another part of my life and i don't want the 6633 training and preparation to get in the way, so i suppose I've delayed some gratification which is very unusual for me!!
