Regularity and rhythm?

OK, it’s April fools’ day, so, just for a bit of fun, here is the growing list of mantras that have been helping me get me through my training, in no particular order. I have no idea which suite of mantras I’ll be needing on the day.

I’ve also been working on building my mental safe-house, to where I can retreat in my imagination when the going gets tough/comfortable/a.n.other as yet unimagined scenario. I’m keeping this to myself.

Must complete
This one is a regular.

It will end
Thanks Jo, good one to have.

Everything’s fine
Good for general life, too.

It’s all good/everything’s good
Ditto

Every hill has a summit
Used quite a lot, training round hilly Winky.

There’s not a hill in the world that doesn’t have a summit              
If it’s particularly bad and I need a long sentence to get me going just a bit further (Everest is in my head).

Hills are good
Who am I kidding?

Slow and easy
The only pace I know; the rest is aspirational. Usually used on hills.

Shoulders: low and loose
When I think I’m going faster (who am I kidding?)

One, one, one
Always a 100% success rate.

Bum, bum, bum               
Trying to get my glutes pulling their weight.

F*ckety, f*ckety, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck
Just because it’s all so tough sometimes. Usually followed by ‘must complete’.
