It's more of this unnecessarily self deprecating behavior and talk I've noticed comes from women a lot more often than men....the "I could never do that" or "I suck at _____ " where they really and truly believe what they're saying and essentially talk themselves out of even trying something. <br /><br />It's definitely good to identify things that are weaker points to work on-it's just kind of more about changing the school of thought from "I can't/I'm no good/I could never do that" to "I'll give it a go/I wonder how much I could improve if I gave this a try, and spent some time working and learning." It was definitely well worth it to split up the run when we had several of the women who said they were afraid to train for the half and run with a group decide to give it a try, even if it was scary for them to take the leap.<br /><br />And tee hee...I'd love another Prius, but we're going to drive the two current vehicles into the ground! Nothing like not having a car payment.TiredMamaRunninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17423159147507047828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8741645086989041852.post-8692066672157121802009-07-19T10:28:36.441-06:002009-07-19T10:28:36.441-06:00Well as a fellow Prius owner I was expecting pictu...Well as a fellow Prius owner I was expecting pictures of the new 3rd generation Prius.
