Inspiration

I ran 4 miles this morning. Going North I felt like there was an invisible hand pushing on my fore head to hold me back. Running the south-bond part of my loop felt like there was a hand on my back throwing me forward. The wind was brutal.

During these last couple of days I have had moments of enthusiasm for the marathon ahead and I have had moments of dread where I feel lazy and lethargic.

It helps to have inspiration when I hit the low points. My wife Andrea has placed a card in my office chair the last couple of days. The first one was from her saying “You can do it!” and today’s was from my three kids saying “Your kids think you can do it.”
