Focusing on the positives

I've been sooo much dwelling on how bad I am (in my training for the ING half). Guru got a little mad at me for harping on it - Obsessed, he called me. So I'm going to focus on the positives of my journey.
  • I've been consistantly running (3-4 days a week) only since Christmas. And I could not run even half a mile. Now, I can do 6miles with just a short 5min water/walk break.
  • In ONE month, I've achieved so much distance. My body is telling me that in another 2 it will go a lot longer. I just need to listen to my body.
  • I had hit a plateau in my weight loss, the running has helped it move a little.
  • When I'm done with my run, I feel so invigorated. That runners high.
  • Its made me much more cheerful in other areas.
  • Its giving me a goal to focus on, an achievement I want all for myself.
I might be a little obsessed, thinking about it & researching about it every awake hour. But I do so because I'm nervous and anxious.
So yes, I need to learn to let go a little and step back a little. Success or failure at this is not the end of the world. This is just the beginning of the journey. I do my part, and the Universe (aka The Lord) will take care of the rest.
