The past couple of days I've been struggling with my swimming. The other day I looked at the distances I would be swimming in my races this year and the thought of having to do those distances paralyzed me. I thought to myself that there was no way I'd be able to do those kind of distances. I believed that I'd probably have to settle for a DNF.
The problem with focusing too much on your goals is that you begin to loose sight of the journey. Someone once told me that the actual marathon is just a victory lap, the training is where the real accomplishments happen.
