This morning a friend of mine commented on a picture I
posted when I completed my first Half Marathon in October 26th and
asked me to do it again. I was
immediately flooded with fantastic memories of the anticipation, the training
it took to get there but most importantly that feeling of accomplishment I had
when I finished.
I am not planning on doing another Half Marathon but I won’t
say it will not happen. I will however,
always continue to fight obesity and Diabetes with all I have and I will never
give up.
What this Half Marathon signifies to me is not related to
how fast or slow I finished or who I was ahead of but rather to the fact that I
accomplished something that I never in my wildest dreams thought I could
do. I set a goal, I trained hard and I
killed it!
I know you may be sitting there thinking how you could never
even do a 5K let alone a Half Marathon but the truth of the matter is that you
can do so much more than that liar in your head tells you. I encourage you to begin by setting small
fitness goals, crushing them and moving on to the next one. This is what keeps you going, what keeps you
healthy and most importantly what gives you your life back. Remember, fitness is not a temporary fix, it
is a permanent change that affects every aspect of your life for the better;
your mood, your stamina, your energy levels and your health in general.
I have set a new goal to do a 15K in September, which means
I have to train for it and that is what keeps me healthy. Set a goal, kill it then set another goal and
repeat, your life is worth it.
Let’s go!!
