Physician heal thyself >;-P

So I just finished posting on the GRS blog the latest in the "Traits of Improving Riders" series and had to laugh as I could so picture my coach rolling his eyes.  GUILTY!   Yes that's me.  Both with the fear of failure (really anything less than perfect has *never* been acceptable in something I care about, so why would it be for riding?) AND with the whole "well I *used* to be able to..."  *sigh*  And while I know enough to censor it -- I don't think I've ever actually *said* either of those things in my coach's presence; he's also a good enough coach to know fully well why I'm frustrated.

hahaha I guess writing can be as good a wake-up call as reading it eh?
