I have had to hand in two assignments for my HNC course; 1
on Anatomy and Physiology and 2 on Sport psychology. I have thoroughly enjoyed
writing both of them; YES it has been hard work , YES did I want to throw the towel in , YES was I convinced I couldn't do it and YES Google is friend YES! I have learnt so much during the course and
I have been able to apply a lot of the theory into my running. This means unfortunately some of my running
buddies have had me psycho- analysing them and boring them with the eccentric,
isometric and concentric muscle contractions, but it is a small price to pay.
The other reason for my lack of blogging is Go-Vember, it’s
a running take on Mo-Vember, where we agree to run/walk/swim or cycle at least
a mile every day during November. I very
nearly stumbled on day 2 but was Facebook shamed (in the nicest possible way)
into going out for a walk at 9:45pm to clock my mile. It is now day 21 and miles logged are 133
(132 running and 1 walking), I am aiming for 170 by then end of the month. It
is tough going but I am still getting out there….longing for a rest day in
December!
I have found both my course and Go-Vember tough but then
again….. is something really worth having if you don’t work for it????
Challenging ourselves is something we need to do more; feel the fear and do it anyway. What do we really have to lose anyway? a bit of pride maybe if we fail BUT think of what you gain if you succeed a) sense of achievement b) a new experience c) sense of fulfilment personally I think that is a chance worth taking.
Oh and by the way got my 1st mark back from one of my assignments and it was a distinction!! Me a distinction!!
