Passion provides the fire in my belly for this journey

I had another sleep in this morning, as I left for my run at 6am. 5kms today which was a bit of a shock to the system to be only doing the 5 as I seemed to only get warmed up and it was time to turn for home. 

It's not until I do a small run like that, do I truly appreciate the mental toughness it takes to do the longer runs, like the one on Sunday of 34kms. I now have 2 big runs left before my Marathon, one this Sunday of 34km and the following Sunday of 30kms. I have to pinch myself to think it is so close now to the main event. My trainer calls it "The Big Kahuna". When I first heard that term I thought of the Maori Haka which I find an amazing thing to watch and feel. When the All Blacks do the Haka before a big match they say it does intimidate the opposition. Being a Kiwi I have always enjoyed the tribal stuff.
It's all about passion, isn't it. For anyone to be successful, I believe you have to have a passion, and that alone can carry you through. Passion for me provides the fire in my belly.

What about you? What are you passionate about?
Passion will make you BE GREAT!
