Copenhagen Diary #13
Just not a good week
Just don’t let a bad day turn into a bad week, and a bad week turns into a bad month, that’s what I’ve been saying myself today after what has felt like a terrible week, both running-wise, as well as personally.
Yet, that’s the thing, not letting those bad ideas and feelings get into your head and own your mind, otherwise, it is just a matter of seconds to go downhill and get stuck in there.
Until tonight training was basically inexistent during the week (nor running or gym), far from ideal, but also part of circumstances out my control, like not feeling well, so much I could do about it, just accept it and move on.
Tonight I finally went back, and although it was not my brightest run, it was a run and that’s what really matters.
Interesting enough, a couple of people asked me if I was ready for Copenhagen, to which I replied: “If you would have asked me that on Sunday, I would have said absolutely. Today, not at all”. And that’s it, things will always change and circumstances not will always be in favour, the key is to adapt to them accordingly, not let them define you and just go with the flow, because as cliché it might sound, it’s probably the easiest way to overcome the unexpected in an environment of long preparation and anticipation.
Do the best you can as much as possible and adapt as when necessary as circumstances appear. That’s it.
