Pushing away the negative thoughts

My biggest goal for the rest of the summer is to be successful at pushing away the negative thoughts when things are going tough during a workout. This morning my ride was an out and back, south into a stiff wind, back with the wind at my back. In headwinds I often get discouraged, but today anytime I thought about the wind, I immediately just tried to think of something positive - I have a beautiful bike! I just saved a turtle from possible death from crushing! I just picked up a bunch of new shirts for work that Stacey and Clinton from What not to Wear would be so proud of! I'm really enjoying the new CD I picked up by the Kooks, and keep singing their songs in my head when i'm riding, and they make me smile. Swimming Olympic Trials start today and I can't wait to get home and watch today. I am so lucky that I can be out here riding on this beautiful morning. Next month I'll have the chance to race and see how my training is coming together. What's a little wind! At least its not hot!
