Ok, not so ready for the test ... I guess

Today I had 2 results. (according to Tony Robbins, I shouldn't say the word "failure" anymore) I didn't pass the motorcycle test, again, and I didn't accomplish 2.2 k run in one go.

I had my motorcycle practice yesterday and I thought things would be going great as expected. However, the moment the test started, I had trouble staying focus and failed again on making U turn and 90 degree turn. It was my third try already. I wasn't nervous for the test, but still I came up short. Anyway, so much time for regretting what had happened, I started to think of a way that I can practice turns and save some money as well. So, the conclusion I came up with was ... a bicycle!

I think the basics are all the same. It's just that one is with pedals and the other one is with motors. I will get the bicycle tomorrow and work on my turns. Hopefully, this idea will work and I can soon turn the fear into confidence. And no time for any sorry thoughts either. Gotta get myself out of this mess soon or else I'll be thinking of it all the time.

As for the 2.2 k run, I actually will it last week, but not today. I guess I lost to my shoulder devil this time. I wonder, is this the moment where the distinction is made between the great players and the average players? I think the answer is YES, but the way I see my condition right now, about 70% before completion, I was already out of my breath. However, if I can do it last week, why can't I keep it up again this week? Am I too anxious to see my progress or is there a problem with my training, or was I simply doubting myself? Running isn't my no.1 priority, but the way I see my age and physical strength, I should be able to finish it easily.

Perhaps it's just not enough will this time.
