problem is if you don't try you can't fail as you can only fail if you do something
and this is what my stupid bloody head is doing (we have history of having this conversation)
along with the letting people down, looking an idiot, no being good enough
SO WTF ARE YOU BOTHERING????
(yes head does shout at me)
and this has resulted in 1 short walk and 2 swims since last Friday morning plus eating too much (and gaining lard, losing fitness) and general WHY? WHY do I do this to myself?
which leads me to why do I set big challenges if I don't have the balls to follow it through.
All this has co-insided with me having serious conversation with Gobi which means he has been added to my list of people I will let down and fail
any now I am having a big rant - sorry

Big deep breath EP.
Break it down. One small goal for today/this week. What’s one thing you can realistically achieve before the end of October?

You've swum this morning, Pix. You're back training. And when you do your next run it'll be with legs that are well rested and full of glycogen.

They're right you know.
Raffo's motto learned from his dad is 'If at first you don't succeed, don't bloody bother again.'

If at first you don’t succeed, give up and save yourself a whole lot of frustration.

Yeah Dio that is deffo the Raffo school of thought.
Me, I just think put any ideas of success or failure out of your head, doing stuff is what counts. I don't even think of it as trying - learning perhaps, but not trying. Process! That's the thing!

My dad's version was 'If at first you don't succeed, sky diving probably isn't for you.'
