Start of a training week.

In a series of posts, I thought I'd run through my program whilst I started checking the calender and putting down the sessions I'll be doing through to July this year. Basically I work off a 1 week cycle .....

Sunday is the beginning of my training week and it often start here with my two coaches (that's them below). I'm not sure why, but I really like these scupltures and enjoy staring at them whilst I stretch after the session. This session if a 10K or 6 mile recovery run, starting in the evening around 5 or 6. I like to start off slow and throw in some fartleaks (I suppose they are spelled differently). When I hit my full training week this run will be a Tempo but Recovery will do for now.



Foreign corespondant Dick, told me abut a book called “The Secret,” which is a the self-help book (and DVD) by Rhonda Byrne, an Australian reality-TV producer. The book hit No. 1 on the USA Today best-seller list this week.

Being a number 1 seller doesn't naturally mean I would know about it, as I'm not the best reader, so I'm thankful to Dick for bringing it to my attention.

A couple of comments grabbed my attention:

"If you think you’re this meat suit running around, you know, you have to think again” [I had imagined nicely arranged meat cuts forming a running man]. After shaking that image, the point hits home there is more than our mechanical side......

“We create our own circumstances by the choices that we make, and the choices that we make are fueled by our thoughts,” .....“So our thoughts are the most powerful thing that we have here on earth. And based upon what we think — and [what] we think determines who we are — we attract who we are into our lives.”

Think about that!
