Running IS Cheaper (or at least better) than Therapy

Yesterday was one of those days where something happens and it completely changes you. It was something that I had very little control over, and I hate that feeling. This was getting to me all morning and I decided that I would make today my long run day to try and get some perspective.

About 45 minutes into the run, a little bit of perspective came to me about the choices I do have.
I can not control other people's feelings, actions, and reactions.
But I can chose how they make me feel. It's not as easy as waving a wand and magically feeling better, but knowing that it can only bother me if I let it.

I can't control the fact that I ran into the wind on my way down the mall and there was zero breeze on the way back.
But I can keep moving, one foot slowly in front of the other.

I can not control the US mail, or the speed of a shipment
But I can control where I order from and who to not order from again (One Triathlon Gear dot com)

I can't control what is going to happen on September 7
But I can choose to do my workouts for the next 40 days. And I can trust in Coach that he knows what he is doing (and have been doing the past year). And believe in my self that I have put in all I can do, and be happy with the result no matter what happens.
