Tricks of the Trade

Some of my runs lately have been less than desirable, but the streak must go on!

I find myself using mind games to get through some of the tough times. Over the years, I've come things like:

• If I see a person smoking, I tell myself how clear my lungs are.
• I visualize one mile that I could run forever.
  
• I love running in the street facing traffic, so I have to smile and have great form.
• Every time I encounter another runner, I have great form.
• I speak to every transient person that I encounter.
• I tell myself how my age-group competitors are training.

I need to get my Mojo back.
