    #dailymission What is your mantra when the running gets tough? "One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four..." Sometimes it's best just not to think about it.

      Oh my goodness! I forgot about this very important reminder to myself. This is a good one. I use to tell myself that a year or so back when I was training heavily. Good one!
