Caroline Casey got me in to Ted Talks. She is completely inspiring because... well I won't give the story away! You need to watch it here ;)
I think about this story a lot esp when I'm having a bit of a down time. 'who do you want to be?' is a question that is asked throughout her talk & I think it's an important one to because it makes you really really realise that you are in charge of the plot of your life and its you are the author.
Like I said last Sunday, I always feel like the start of the week is a fresh start & keeping Caroline's message fresh in my mind pushes me forward hopefully in the right direction. Although not always!! But isn't that the same with everything? Ups and downs; it's the nature of every plot of every story, what makes it a happy ending is the character cracks on after each down (after a bit of a wobbly moment!).
I'm just trying to remember; onwards & upwards after every bump-including little training! I've just handed my notice in on a job I've had for 4 years. There's a bit (ok MASSIVE) career change & it's a fork in the road for me. I'm nervous no doubt, excited completely and keeping Caroline's inspirational, challenging story as I go forward makes me smile that maybe this is me becoming Mowgli.... <-seriously click that and enjoy a 10min talk on a snippet of her life
Training this coming week:
20k running
72km cycling
0k swimming
63hrs sleep <- unlikely
49 hrs sleep <- more likely!
