"I Think I Can, I Think I Can"

As I walked out to the road in this mornings drizzle it was without too much enthusiasm.  It felt very much like one of those days where the first kilometre was gonna be the end of me.  When I arrived at the end of the laneway I realized that I was wearing the crappy headphones that were gonna fall out constantly. I turned around to get the other ones, and decided I would just jog a few steps as I headed back to the house.  That would probably confirm the futility of trying to do much running today, and sure enough, my legs were dead.  I knew for sure it wasn't gonna work.

But wait a minute I thought!  Did I know it wasn't gonna work,  Was that actually true?  Could I be absolutely sure it was true?

Or heaven help me....did I just think it was true?

In the brief space of time it took to process all that, my whole perspective changed.

I went back in the house and got my headphones, and this time when I came out, I started jogging right away rather than wait til the end of the driveway.

After 49 minutes and eight kilometres I was tired, and so I walked for another two!!

I think I can!  I know I can!
