Ask Dr Emit Brown and he’ll tell you “If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.”. Okay so he’s a character from a film but the point is still valid and is a good line to live by in my opinion. I’m sure that most of the people that have climbed mountains, sailed around the world or made businesses have a similar approach and after what is probably going to be my last early morning swim i’m hoping the same is going to be true for me this coming saturday. As i look back through all of the swimming and running times that i’ve collected over the past four months i’ve clocked up 35 miles running and currently 44 km of swimming in 5.5 and 11 hours respectively. When you think that most of the swimming has been in the morning i think that it works out to be about a days worth of sleep i’ve given up in order to achieve the 5k in the time i want and to raise money for a very worthwhile cause. I have the same approach at work and in everything that i do – anything is achievable. I’ve been asked if its likely that i’ll get back to the stamina and speed i used to have as a teenager and so far all signs suggest that i’m going to achieve what i want to achieve. The only difference is believing in what you want to do. Regardless what it is – some development, a project on the house, winning over that certain someone or achieving the promotion that you deserve, belief is the biggest part of overcoming the problems. If you believe you can do it, then you’ll do what you need to do to make it happen. Even if that means loosing sleep for it.

Guess when i decided to do the swimathon!
