Half full... not half empty

There is no denying now that there is less than a month to go until the Race for the Cure in Boston. I have made it about halfway to my fundraising goal. How to close that gap before September 23?? I don't know. In the training, I'm doing a consistent 33 minutes for the 5K. I also took advantage of a special deal at the gym and hired a personal trainer for the month to help me get from 5K to 10K with three sessions scheduled with her between now and the Race. I want to make the effort to run farther than I need to, so that the 5K distance will seem easier. So right now, I feel like I'm halfway... with just about everything having to do with the Race... even though I'm probably ahead of where I expected to be at this point! Isn't it funny how your feelings can keep you from seeing that you are on target, especially when you are setting a new goal for yourself. To stay motivated and upbeat for this afternoon's session at the gym, I need to shift my attitude to recognize my water bottle as being half full, and drink it up before I start running today! At least that way, I'll stay hydrated! Ahhhh! So refreshing! :-)
