EVERYBODY WANTS TO QUIT?!
DOES THIS HAPPEN TO YOU? It happens to me. A race is getting close, training volume is up, schedule is crammed, body is tired...
... and I want to pull the plug.
Happened just this week.
Here I am 3 weeks out from my A race,
a bucket lister I've had for a longlong time,
and I'm thinking about potentially pulling the plug.
Why is that?
Better question...
... How often are we close to achieving the dream and we quit?
We're tired.
Unsure of the outcome.
Doubting we can pull it all together.
Another better question...
... When and why and how do we push forward?
Me.
I thought of you,
because I made a public declaration.
I looked at my giant calendar,
and saw the goal I'd written in red sharpie.
I palmed my custom raceday wallet,
considering all I'd put into making this happen.
I met up with the Alliance on zoom,
and the shame of even considering quitting gutted me.
If you're like me...
... I need reminders, accountability and support.
But, here's the thing.
It's normal to want to quit, have doubts, feel overwhelmed...
... which is why most people quit before,
right before, the breakthrough.
Don't be normal.
Be true!
