So, that was my mindset for the ride.
On the way home, we saw a friend of ours heading out. He turned around and we spent the next half hour (:eek:) pulled off the side of the road, chewing the fat. He is a big proponent of this training camp he attends in April. He thinks DH and I should do it. He also shared my mindset a few years back. This camp turned him around. The friend reminded me that I really need to get that negative monkey off my back. That devil on my shoulder that whispers in my ear "I can't." "I can't climb that hill." "I can't hang with the group." "I can't..."
Arrrrgghhhh.... He's been my passenger for so long, I don't know how to be rid of him. Any ideas?
