Fear (footnote)

This is today's Runner's World quote of the day:

 "Fear is probably the thing that limits performance more than anything - the fear of not doing well, of what people will say. You've got to acknowledge those fears, then release them."

Mark Allen

(Mark Allen is a multiple Ironman Champion)

Good timing. The acknowledgement last week has actually done wonders for me. Part of this has just been the support of friends and fellow athletes. Part of it, though, is just like Mark says. Naming my fears has helped me to work on releasing them.

Thanks.
