Here we are before the run
This past Saturday, my friend Brandy and I did something neither of us had done before. We ran a 5k.
Now, let me be honest, running is stretch. We finished in 42:04. Faster than my previous run which was right at 45 minutes. But we made a commitment to do it, and we followed through. That’s the hardest part of making a change. Commitment.
It’s much easier to make an excuse as to why you can’t run a 5k than running one. But what do you get from an excuse.
Nothing.
Right before the finish line
What did we get from running the 5k? Check out the last picture in this post. What do you see? I can tell you what I see.
I see a sense of accomplishment.
I see a sense of pride.
I see two people who took a step to better their health, and have committed to following through.
Finished!
Would you see any of that if we had not followed through?
I doubt it.
What’s holding you back from making the same change in your life? Add them to the comments below. I want to know what excuses people are making as to why they can’t be healthier. I want to try to talk to those reasons…. I want to help you overcome them.
Together, we can be healthy. Let’s do that together!
By the way…I just signed up for another 5k… This one is much more interesting!
