Just one week to the Cortina-Dobbiaco.
Just one week to the 30km that I am preparing for the last three months.
To be ready and ENJOY a great run among one of the most beautiful landscape in the world.
The "Tre cime di Lavaredo"
And the Lake of Dobbiaco
will be the great environment where I will try and finish my 1st 30km run.
These last weeks has been quite tough. Even though I traveled a lot (and I really mean A LOT) I tried to keep following the training I had to do, to be able and ready to finish the race.
Wake up calls early in the morning to go out and have my 15/18 km before breakfast or late runs have been the normal things in the last weeks. And now...
Last Sunday I had a problem on my knee that made me stop training and that is seriously threatening the possibility to run.
This is the "little devil" that became big. Veeery big.
Who's the little devil?
I call "little devil" the voice that is inside you every time you want to do something different, something bigger, something outside the "normal stuff". Every time I want to be different and to change something I have this voice that tells me... stop doing this Ale... keep on doing the good old way!
That's the feeling you have, when you're 2 km away from the end of the training. A hard one. And everything inside you says "stop, you have done enough".
Training, to me, is also if not MAINLY to be able to resist to these voices. Much more difficult to resist to temptations
The little devil is trying to leave things as they are, trying to stop you doing the extra mile.
That's valid on sports as well as on life.
This is the same voice that stop people going outside the comfort zone. To really understand what they can do and what they are. To do everything they can do (and this can be a lot!)
To make people dividing the "ME" from "I". What I must do (for example because it's my job) from what I really am. In a word, stopping people being happy because they understand what they really want to be.
But beware.
The solution is not being deaf to the little devil. Not covering his voice with other louder voices.
The solution is to learn NOT to follow the voice. Not to keep the status quo and take a step forward.
Don't stop moving forward. Don't listen to your little devil.
I hope my knee will not listen to him too
Have a nice week end
