Graffiti Fun
I LOVE running and fitness community challenges because they are usually the impulse I need to add play to my training!
It is the most important part of the process, and often forgotten: peppering fun in the run.
Today, as part of my warm up for my run, I graffitied the wall of our garden shed :D

Shut Up Brain!
The "fun art" (plus dancing along to Ice Ice Baby tune ! :D ) helped shut my brain up.
My brain almost always nag me, when I am about to go out for a run; it nags the loudest, when I am simply thinking of a quick short run!
What does it nag? Don't go out!
I talked a lot about tricking my brain, and I want to share more on how I do this, here on my blog to help those who struggles with procrastination and mental blocks.
Play!
The brain loves play. Not chores.
Sometimes running evolves into a chore.
We usually become too focused on achievements and performances. The fun of the run soon turns into doldrums.
This should not happen because running is after all a hobby for most!
You can create your own fun, OR join in the fun others create!
The main goal: participation.
Breaking 6*
It's been a long time since I *seriously* made speed my running goal.
I know from experience, how creating "time goals"/ "be faster goal"/"PR goals" can backfire on me.
It's one of those fun killer - if you let it!
Not anymore!

I am making sure I am doing necessary steps (slow build up, balanced training, warm-up, cool down, stretch, roll, strength exercises, yoga etc etc) NOT to get injured.
I am making sure I shut my brain up!

Fast has it's price. Always.
What I would like to keep in mind, in my process is: NOT to take everything TOO seriously. Specially myself!
I don't want to work hard to be faster and lose fun in the process. It is a price I am unwilling to pay.
My motto: go have fun or go home!

*run my next marathon under 6 hours; run below 6'00'' average pace during training
Oh By the Way... :D
Great run, today! Second week of training started off well.
My mind, and my heart are graciously accepting the speed I am building up to. :)))
My mental blocks are reduced immensely after finishing Berlin Marathon 2017
(done, check, accomplished!!!).
My heart literally & metaphorically profited from heart rate training & documenting the training I did for Berlin. Humble, small steps, they were and I am feeling the rewards of being patient.
I am enormously grateful.

Yo, I don't know
Turn off the lights and I'll glow
I wish I can tell you that once you've overcome mental blocks, you are completely free of them!
What I can say about this:
like life, you overcome crisis, you get strong and when you encounter the next new hurdle, you get more creative - each and every time.
