it isn't in my blood

With the competition season underway, remember..."Training was a right of purification; from it came speed, strength.  Racing was a rite of death; from it came knowledge."

Help me, it's like the walls are caving in
Sometimes I feel like giving up
No medicine is strong enough
Someone help me
I'm crawling in my skin
Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I just can't...
It isn't in my blood

Easy day reminder (Mon if run, Wed, Thu, Sat): rule of thumb, run no faster than 2' slower than current 5k race pace!

Daily - 5 minute mindfulness
