That is an impressive negative split run :) It's amazing how quickly ONE run can bring us down, but clearly that confidence of yours knows when it needs to poke through.

I usually shake them off by saying, "Thank God that bad run happened today (or yesterday...whenever) and not during my race!" I have a weird superstition that I have at least three bad runs every few months. If it happens during a training run then BONUS! Check it off because one down means it is one less likely to happen during a race. Plus, tough runs certainly build mental stamina and mental endurance and mental toughness. You can look back on it is say, "Now THAT was a tough run. This one? Not so much. I got this." And the real key is to BELIEVE it. <br /><br />You are doing so awesome!!!!5 Miles Past Emptyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16542419394717296576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37373654.post-26939542901406879982011-02-14T01:33:28.472-05:002011-02-14T01:33:28.472-05:00Oh. my. word. marlene!!! that is one ROCKIN run!!...Oh. my. word. marlene!!! that is one ROCKIN run!!
