I've been told by many people that I am persistent, relentless, and determined. And stubborn, too. It's true, and it's characteristics like that which allow me to accomplish goals like running up this mountain:
I had been training for the last few months, going to Doi Suthep every couple of weeks to run up its steep road. I made it about half way up the last time I trained, which was about 1 month ago. Since then I had been too busy to run at the mountain, but next week starts a whole new schedule and I knew my time was about to become even more limited. So although I wasn't physically ready to run to the top, mentally I was. :) As a result, my persistence, diligence, relentlessness and stubbornness brought me to the top of the Wat Phrathat overlooking Chiang Mai in 1 hour and 34 minutes. Pretty stellar, I think.
Today, I'm sore, and my left hip flexor is yelling at me, but otherwise I feel physically strong, and mentally accomplished. YAY for achieved goals!
