Try to Remember the Kind of September....

It is scary and at the same time great.

Let me back up first-- I am trying to remember what is what like to be in full force training. I have dropped my focus and need to get it back with the spring and summer racing season coming along.

So Lisa, accidentally, reminded me of how memory can drive our motivation. She told me that Christopher, the chatty one with the glasses, was wishing her a good Christmas this year. He told her that things had not always been easy for her and that at one time she was sick. He even mentioned that she had to go around the house with a giant IV bag. All of that is true but it happened 3 years ago, for a total of two days when he was only three. A powerful memory of a bad thing that gets turned into a good thing.

When Lisa got sick one of my goals was for the kids to understand that you can make a good thing out of a bad thing.

Back to the problem at hand, can I make a good thing out of the utter lackluster athletic performance of the last six months?
