ME v. MYSELF...and I

It's been two weeks without running and I am committed to at least two more. I'm getting anxious. I'm not completely nervous, but I'm nervous nevertheless. I have negative thoughts that I don't care for. Maybe if I put them here I'll be better at letting them go. Here's a monologue with myself regarding this matter:

ME: What if my Achilles doesn't heal soon and I have to put off running even longer? What if it doesn't heal and I have to walk the entire marathon at Ironman Louisville? What if it's so bad I can't even do Ironman Louisville?

MYSELF: How about this thought, "Shut the heck up, be positive, and look for positive change to happen! You are doing IMLOU!"
ME: I know, but...
MYSELF: But nothing. Quit your damn mopping and get your chin in the air.
ME: Yes, but...
MYSELF: No buts...chin...air...do it.
ME: Ok, but...
MYSELF: The reason you keep saying but is because you've got your head up your a** with your negativity. Be friggin' positive. You are going to be fine. Just stay the course.
ME: I want to believe that b...
MYSELF: Good thing you didn't finish your sentence jack-wagon. Believe. Believe and achieve my brutha'!
ME: It's hard when I...
MYSELF: When you what? When you dwell on what might be, in a negative frame of reference? Try this, dwell on an image of a positive outcome. Imagine yourself in two weeks starting your running again and having success.

ME: I can see that.
MYSELF: Good start. Now, imagine that your walk/runs continue to go well and you begin running. You feel strong, you feel healthy, heck, pretty soon, you even feel fast!
ME: I see it! I see it!
MYSELF: Well, what are you thinking! Slow down, you shouldn't be running fast yet, give your tendon time. Sheesh! What are you, a crazy person?
ME: Well, I just started to think to myself, "I will prevail. I will come out of this on top. I will again be strong, and I again will kick butt."
MYSELF: That's right. Because you...are a grown a** man!
ME: You had to work that phrase in here somewhere didn't you?
MYSELF: Yeah, couldn't help myself.
ME: I know how you feel.
I: Will you guys just shut up?

Huh, I feel better already. Thanks for the space.
Peace,
