"That's the amazing thing about the mind," Coach said, "once you develop a mental level of expectation, it stays with you." Something magical happens when you take control of your thoughts. You realize you are your own creation. Moment to moment, who do you want to be? Dr. Brower told us the mind doesn't distinguish between fact and fiction. What the mind sees and thinks, the body feels, and what the body feels, the mind, or at least the subconscious, learns. Here's something I learned about the mind: It forgets. Someone draped an American flag over my shoulders. Its weight felt like being draped in the accumulation of years of learning and all the people who had taught me. There was Bill, sending the team to play in the mountains. Lance keeping faith in my ability even when I'd lost my own. There was Coach, reminding me to bring a good attitude, to get tough, to focus on building the person. I felt Terrence's calm wisdom. Andrew's love and devotion. My dad's bottomless support, my mom's constant attention, and my sister's pride. Every teammate and competitor who had pushed me, and every fan who'd cheered. Each mountain, road, and blade of grass that had inspired me. I was the sum of everyone and everything that had built me. The next day as we toured the city as a family, I thought about the power of a single positive choice, how it is the first step into the story we want to create, the outcome we desire. I thought about how every decision that follows builds and expands and accumulates. And yet it comes back to the microdecisions we make in any given moment, when we can go in one direction or the other. How on some days, like the eagle run, the positive path is harder to find and we have to be relentless in its pursuit. But a better outlook is always there and well worth chasing. On the other side are potential and possibility. But once I started viewing these decisions as choices rather than sacrifices, the emotional tug-of-war ended. Taking charge of my decisions made me feel empowered and more committed to my goal. The first step with any emotion—worry, fear, doubt, disappointment—is to give yourself permission to feel it. Denying an emotion buries it in the body and mind, and it will inevitably rear up later in some dramatic fashion. When you feel a negative emotion, pause and take a few deep breaths. Name and acknowledge the emotion, which helps normalize it and reduce its intensity and power. | |

The writing is enjoyable and pacey, and I appreciate taking more care about describing elements of wonder in trail running.
The beginning few chapters are a little slower, as they capture the perspective of a child discovering competitive running - which I didn't enjoy as much as the rest of the book. So if you feel the same way at the beginning, do please keep on reading. (
