mind over matter

as i fully expected, yesterdays long run through the backwoods of central maine was just what i needed to boost my confidence for next weekend's race. it still amazes me that in ten miles i was able to cross three towns, seven wild chickens, eight different people that i know, and four red pick-up trucks (including one spotted from the i-95 overpass) i've never run ten miles before. during my training for twin-lights the longest run i completed was eight, so even yesterday i was doubtful about my ability to run as far as i did.

yesterday convinced me that mind over matter is really most important and that by staying positive this week only good things will be in store for me on sunday.
