During the half marathon I thought about how I was on this journey to the finish line and what all I had done in preparation to get there. A journey that requires not only physical stamina but also mental stability. Had I eaten enough before the race? Was I hydrated? Would my training pay off for a new PR? Is this really good for me? How heavy will that medal be around my neck?
Maybe you are on a journey toward better health? With individual dedication and focus, hard work and accountability you can be.
We all have personal goals in life and to accomplish them takes focus and individual dedication. We all know that making positive changes in life takes hard work. And maybe most importantly we all need a buddy system to hold us accountable in life.
Like the journey I completed in the RunDisney event, it isn’t an easy journey and with every positive change there will also be some setbacks. But hang in there because with the tough times there will also be those days when you see the results of all your efforts. (Look at this bling we got for finishing this two day journey!)
So go set some goals, make some time to workout, ask a friend to help and most of all enjoy your journey toward a healthier you!
