I started out very goal directed. I think I have mellowed a bit on the way.

It's like the phrase about it not being about the destination but the journey.
I like to think there is a final finish line, a point when I can brush myself down and know I am all better how thank-you. But I am beginning to realise it is not like that, that attitude may well have contributed to my current difficulties. My life doesn't have to be on hold until I have finished my work with T - my life is progressing even between those sessions, that become the focus of my week. The more emphasis I put on them, the harder the 400 meter run becomes, but if I can stop to pick some daisies along the way, then maybe the run itself becomes more enjoyable.
