Mind games

While out running my 10km this morning in the smur (Scottish word to describe fine rain) nothing interesting happened which allows your mind to think through what lies ahead.  I have spoken to many newbie Ironmen in the last month and they have all confirmed that in the race there will be things that go wrong and you need to adapt.  There will be times when you feel like sh1t, this is natural and you need to push through it.  Sounds like life / business really and its all about your attitude and how you handle these challenges.
Think of "Mr Baldy" who is currently in hospital going through a stem cell transplant - now that is a battle and he is considering doing a triathlon next year which is a step up from bowling!  There's someone with an unbelievably positive attitude and which will see him through his treatment.  We're with you all the way Mr & Mrs Baldy!
Yesterday I sent an email to my friends trying to increase the total raised for Maggie's and got another £350 which is fantastic.  This morning I got a call pledging £1,500!!  This will take the total over £6,000 but I am still hoping I might find  a corporate sponsor to take us beyond the £10,000 target. Thank you to everyone who is supporting Maggie's.
