In yesterday’s blog post, I invited you to train for something. It helps bring purpose and focus to other areas of your efforts to improve your health.
In case you missed it, you can check it out here.
Something that holds many people back from signing up for something or trying something new is they don’t feel ready.
I wanted to take a moment to share a little bit about my personal experience.
I started my fitness journey back in 2014, and it started with a Spartan Race.
I was 220 pounds.
Could only jog for a short bit.
Had no idea what a burpee was.
Couldn’t keep up with my friends.
I feel like the only thing that saved me, and continues to save me over and over at various races, is my ability to just keep moving forward.
I remember wanting to be off that friggin’ mountain so bad because I was hating life, but just thinking, “every step I take gets me to the end, so may as well just keep walking.” I was pondering all of the reasons why I’d never be doing another race. I couldn’t wait to be done.
I finished. My friends and I commiserated on how much that sucked and how we were never doing that again.
The next day, we called each other to say how much fun we had and how we couldn’t wait to do that again!
I eventually went on to complete 13 total races.
I’m grateful for the skills and experience gained through Spartan races and that’s why I’m reaching out to you to consider signing up and training for one…even if you don’t feel ready.
My closing encouragement for you: sign up for something. Challenge yourself. Don’t wait until you feel ready.
You can do it.
I believe in you.
Sincerely,
Your friend in wellness and fitness,
Coach Candice
