26/9/23 ### Narrowing the scope of Peak Performance

 Bruce Jenner said in preparation for the Olympics, he trained every day for the span of four years.

That is the commitment of a champion.  The key to success is to create momentum against the inertia.  Nothing matters but the goal.  I got to see it in my mind to complete the task at hand.

I intend to run an 11 km Hill run by Christmas this year.  Alas, I should not succumb to over-training.  Start slow but be consistent.

I wa[s] (want) to just run.  Running is about weight, not about age.  If I can go to 70 kg or even better 60 kg, I will run my heart out.  I want to run into my old age.  No need to worry about anything else.  Just run...  

Tomorrow is another day that I look forward to the 10 km Training.  I must think like an athlete.  I am no longer a rat in a rat race.  I am a Lone Warrior on a quest for meaning.  

My meaning is when I can keep on running.  As long as I can run, I am a man fully functioning.  I fulfill my role as a good animal, a compassionate man, and a passionate soul.

The rest are just the backdrop to this Vision Quest.  I need to move towards my destiny.  I make my own circumstances.  I will make a point to be the King of Bukit Kiara.  That is my personal trophy.

From a pack-a-day smoker, I will rise to be a Half Marathoner, running the Hill Run.  This I must do.  I do it for me.  "You got to go through hell to be in heaven," said Tim Grover.

I will be in heaven come 24/12/24.  Nothing else matters.  I just keep on running.  That is my 60th Year Glory as the Wood Dragon.  I must do it!

Tomorrow is the 10 km Training again.  These next 3 months, my focus is on the run.  I have to keep on moving.  The key is in moving.
