Putting things into perspective

I think that sometimes I just need to put things into perspective again.  I need to go back to why I run and the enjoyment I get out of running.  See I have this half marathon coming up in just over a month.  People have been supporting me along on this journey and I keep hearing how well I am going in my running and just how well I am likely to go in this event.  For this reason I seem to have this time stuck in my head and totally focused on this.  It means I keep on thinking I'm not doing well enough in my training, I'm not going to meet this goal.  I need to turn this all around and think - look how far I have come, look at how I can get out and run, look at what I do!  This is me:

I'm hot, I'm sweaty, I have just completed a 6k run.  No music, no worrying about the time and finishing in the dark!  I need to remember the enjoyment I get from running and all the positives it is doing for me!

I decided all that time back to make that decision to try!  I have accomplished so much and I will continue to.  Running is a journey.  It hits speed bumps, it hits breaks in the road BUT ... it is a journey that I can take.
