the voices

So when I run the voices in my head are my biggest competition.    I am trying to kill them off one by one.  But it seems as though they are able to resurrect and when morning time rolls around and I hit the pavement.. they’re  all  OH HAI!  WE’RE   BACK!

Evil Voice 1:  “What are you doing Melody?

Evil Voice 2:  “Seriously!   A runner?  PUH-LEASE!”

Good Voice 1:  “Leave her alone, she’s doing great, she’s almost at mile 2″

EV1:   “yeah. 2.  Melody, you’ve been running for 20minutes straight, you should take a break and walk”

EV2   GREAT IDEA.  We like when you walk.   You deserve the break     Your really not a runner.. so walking is ok.

GV1:  (being smothered by a pillow)   KEEEPP RUNNNNING

EV2:  punches GV in the stomach

GV1:     silence.

EV1   i think she’s going to walk..  oh oh oh here she goes.. she’s going to stop all together.  WE WIN WE WIN

EV2   YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

GV1  crawling back … fighting for me.   I bring it back to life and hear a “you dont have to stop, you just ran 5 the other

day.. keep going.   you can do it girl.    keep going.

EV1:  wait. what is that?  what what what?   OH.. shit. she was just stopped at an intersection to cross the street.  BITCH.

EV2:  lets be louder and louder .. she’ll stop soon enough.  YOUR WEAK!  WEAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!

So.. yah.  this is the constant conversation I battle with.   Now,  I know I’m doing something that I have never ever done before and this empowers me.     All I need now is the confidence in myself and I’ll be a nonstop running machine.
