I was led to change my CoT last minute. Instead of my original plan I shared a favorite Henry Ford quote.
“Whether you think you can or think you can’t you’re right.”
I enjoy throwing people off sometimes. When they say comments like “I know I’m going to fail” “I’m going to lose” “I wont get this opportunity” and AGREE with them. They look at me like I’m the crazy one. I then share with them this wisdom in hopes they learn and win half the battle. Half the battle is believing you can.
I did this about a week ago with my 2.1 (she’s 5) the next time I heard her say “I’m going to WIN this time.” She changed her mindset quick and I was glad she said that when I was around. Words matter. What we tell ourselves matters. Have you ever read “Hung by the Tongue”?
We prayed for Eagles M, Sparkler and his family, Roadtrip and his 2.0 and OCD’s ankle.
Final Prayer
Naked Man Moleskin
Woke up feeling pretty good, surprisingly. The beatdown Riunite gave us yesterday was spectacular. I did however developed a blister on my left heal the size of a big red piece of gum. I was glad of two things this morning. One it happened yesterday and not next Saturday at GrowRuck. Two it’s on the back of my heal and not the bottom. I was not going to let anything get in the way of my RCVQ @ La Luz.
My plan was adjusted to the PAX in attendance. I took into consideration all running levels and wanted to keep everyone as together as possible. It was a nice active recovery for me while not completely ripping off my heal.
Wedding Planner slayed and led from the front the entire time simultaneously encouraging the PAX.
Mr Magoo is making some gainzzz baby!!!
Grimace has a lil more swag as well… (brought FNG Mc Flurry)
Inch Worm (15 years old) was up front as well talking my ear off.
PB#’s (19 years old) was right behind him. He’s excited for his VQ coming up this Wednesday. Plus this young man just led QSource this past Friday. Talk about guevos (google it)
Blow Dry was telling us on his upcoming Manniversary coming up @ DT where it all started for him next Thursday July 22nd. So proud of you my brother!
