Day 3 of 25 is now in the books, but there’s still 22 more to go.  

I was thinking about the numbers as I walked to the appointment this afternoon and started to break it down into smaller, more manageable chunks…much like  interval training on the bike or TRX circuit training or doing reps.  I can always wrap my brain more easily around 5 sets of 8 minutes vs. 40 minutes any day.  Same thing with my first century ride…my brain would have imploded after mile 1 if I told myself “Only 99 more to go, Mary!”.  So I positioned it to myself as 10 sets of 10 miles. Doing 10 miles is pretty easy peasy (unless it’s the Death Ride!) as is counting down from 10 after each mile or set was completed. 

So, after today, I’m more than half through Set #1 of 5!
