I know I can

"The difference between the mile and the marathon is the difference between burning your fingers with a match and being slowly roasted over hot coals."
- Hal Higdon, running writer and coach

If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you like to win, but you think you can't,
It is almost certain you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost,
For out in the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow's will.
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you are outclassed, you are,
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster [wo]man.
But soon or late the [wo]man who wins,
Is the [wo]man who thinks [s]he can.
- C. W. Longenecker

Third time's the charm. Here we go.
