Fat Woman With A Band

I’m never in the moment. I’m always trying to get to the other side. I don’t remember to enjoy the journey, or experience happiness in reaching the goal. I just want to get to the other side.

That may help me when racing. That is maybe it’ll help push myself to finish the half-marathon in less than 3hrs and 40min. I recognize that I may not then enjoy the walk itself. The thing is, I do want to enjoy the walk. So during this training, I’m going to have to work on enjoying the walk. Wonder how I do that?

I know that during the training one easy way to enjoy the walk is talking to the other participants. Everybody has a story. Some exciting, some boring, but something. And one of the participants said that she found one way to enjoy the walk is for a “treat” during the walk. She didn’t mean food or drink; she meant a beautiful plant, a songbird, or a beautiful vista.

Working on enjoyment of the journey – another task on the list. Changing your body is a lot easier than changing your mind.
