Turn “can do” into “can did”

For this blog assignment we had to choose a "pep talk" that has appeared on a Halls cough drop wrapper and then write about how that "pep talk" relates to our life. For my "pep talk" I chose Turn “can do” into “can did." I chose this "pep talk" because I feel it has a connection to something that is coming up in my life. 
 During the spring season I run track for Guilderland. I did this last year and am planning on doing it again this year. Now track is most definitely not my favorite sport. There is something about running in circles that just gets to me. But even with my dislike of running in circle I still manage to have fun with track and enjoy myself during the season. During track I really only run one event, the 1600 or mile. I occasionally run the 800 but my main event is the 1600. Last season I started of the season by running a 5:45 mile. This was huge for me. I had never broken a six minute mile before and it was really exciting to break it. Now I look back and think about running my fastest and getting a 5:45. These days I am running a 5:45 mile split when I run a timed two mile. This shows how much faster I have gotten but that is not the point of this blog. The reason is chose the "pep talk" Turn “can do” into “can did” for this blog is because this year for track my goal is to break five minutes in the mile. This is a huge goal for me and I really want to achieve it and I believe that I can achieve it. Last year I ended track with a 5:17 mile time and this year I am a much faster runner.  I fully believe that I will be able to break five easily but I have some doubts. But anyways I have been told by many people that I will break five this track season and I am nervous. I really want to break five and I know that I am capable of doing it I am just worried if I will break it. So that is why I chose this "pep talk." Because I really want to break five but the only way I will be able to break it will be to Turn “can do” into “can did."
