my Mantra . . .
May 20, 2008I’m back to juggling a bit, but that’s OK. Nothing to complain about . . . Just trying to fit it all in and stay on top of my training. My column, Livin’ the Dream, on Bicycling.com just got posted with it’s own url . . . check it out!
If you have a little ditty that keeps you going . . . on the bike, at work, in your marriage . . . give it up! I love hearing what keeps people going when the going gets tough.
If you want to know what a tough day at the office is for a bike racer, check out Dave Millar’s diary on Bicycling to get inside his head for a brilliant look at a long day on the bike. Talk about thrill of competition, . . . agony of defeat. I would’ve thrown my bike too.
In truth, I’ve got so much to be grateful for, I’ve been waking up to the beat of “I’m so lucky to be doing this every day . . . “
now get it done.
I just gotta make myself get out there and do it. Planning the training around a 40 hour work week is difficult, but I make myself do it. If that means get up at 5am for a swim and then run my dogs and then work a 12 hour shift, well then that’s what I gotta do.
My mantra:
HTFU (Harden The Fuck Up)
