Who’s there?

As I was driving to playgroup this morning, I saw a billboard for a major sale over the weekend of June 16, 17 & 18. Then nervous panic set in because I realized that’s the weekend of my first triathlon.

And then my stomach started swirling and I started wondering if I could actually attain my goal of a top three finish in my age group.

Then my mind went on to the marathon that I just signed up for. And I got nervous all over again. Because of course, I don’t just want to finish my first attempt at running a marathon; I actually want to try to qualify for Boston.

Then the little negative voice in my head told me my goals were too lofty and asked me who I thought I was thinking that these things could ever become a reality. And for a moment, I agreed.

Then we pulled up to my friend’s house, I put the car in park and I told that little voice that I am going to prove him wrong and that while were at it, he’s no longer welcome in my head.
