Workout Mantra Terrifies Peacock
Workout Mantra Terrifies Peacock
Dear Friend,
So, I'm finishing up a set up hill sprints today when a freakin' peacock runs out of the woods... right in front of me.
I was getting ready for my last sprint up the hill and believe me, I was not too enthused about it. I was feeling a little under the weather and was doing more sprints than I had done all spring.
To get myself through the workout, I decided to do a little 'mind over matter.'
I started saying this to myself to get psyched up.
I will do this last sprint.
I will run this sprint fast.
I will run this sprint explosively.
Now, I usually do something similar in my head, but today I needed an extra boost. So, I started saying these affirmations out loud as I paced back and forth across the bottom of the hill.
I will do this last sprint.
I will run this sprint fast.
I will run this sprint explosively.
I was on about my third round of saying my mantra out loud when a blur of feathers booked out of the trees and right past me.
I don't know. A peacock? That's a new one. But I'm sure it wasn't some hill sprint induced hallucination. I watched as it ran into the woods and disappeared.
I turned back to my sprint. Now, I really needed some help to focus. I thought about a current goal that I am working toward and visualized it at the spot on the hill where I knew I would end my sprint.
Looking up at it, I knew that if I could get myself to run this last sprint fast, to reach that spot on the hill, I would achieve my workout goal for the day and have confidence in reaching the goal I had visualized.
Let me tell you that I was beat at the end of that sprint. But it was a great tired feeling. As I walked down I felt energetic and enthused about my accomplishement for the day.
All I had to then was avoid that peacock on the way back to my car...
