The #humansprinkler was here 💦
At some point during the run, my brain kept saying “ok, we’re tired, let’s walk”. Having fallen for that sh*t in the past, I asked my legs “how are we doing fellas?” They replied “all good man, LFG”. Ha! I told my brain to STFU, and kept on pushing.
Don’t fall for the mind tricks. Trust your training and #keeppushing 👊🏾
