I am disappointed. I failed to fulfill the expectations of . . . myself. I believe in the statement I saw on a Gatorade shirt that said, "The best inspiration is not to outdo others but to outdo yourself."I didn't outdo myself. I set out to run in the PF Chang Rock N' Roll Marathon (Jan. 13) - read here. I don't do the little things I did on my first.
One was signing up and paying for it. I didn't do that.
The other was sticking to my plan. I didn't do that!
Third was getting sick. I did that! After being sick for about a week/half. I never recovered
the motivation to run the marathon.
As I watched the coverage this weekend I am disappointed. My new goal is San Diego - June 1. I plan to go by the book. It worked last time. Why not again! I feel/hear my athletic clock ticking.
Any tips on how one may outdo their self? Any external motivation tips?

To outdo yourself would be to outdo Doug Lake; which we all know is impossible. It has been tried by many, and all who have tried have died doing so.
Well, what I know about you is that if you set your mind to do something, you can and will do it! External motivation? Hmmm...I'll give you a million dollars if you run the marathon in June. You are already a marathoner!
