Getting to this feeling didn’t happen overnight and for some
people it will usually take a series of events to feel inspired to get moving.
So many people around me have inspired me in many aspects of my life lately -
do something kind for a complete stranger, try something I’ve always wanted to
do, even run a marathon. Seeing
transformation around me makes me want to move forward and better myself in so
many ways. I try to encourage my family to do the same and remind them it doesn’t
all have to happen in one day but to start making little changes and to look
for inspiration daily.
Today was an incredible day to run outside. The temperatures
made it very comfortable and I picked a time when the sun was setting and the light
made the fall colours glow. Within my first km my legs became really tense and
immediately my mind told me to stop. Of course it is a natural reaction when
things get difficult, but instead I chose to suck it up. Clearly this is going
to be hard and there will be days when my body screams at me to go home and sit
on the couch. While it would have been simple to head home, I decided to slow down
my pace and go for an easy but still very satisfying jog.
Nike says it best – just do it. And on tonight’s run it sure was good to have
motivating messages pop up on my new watch to reassure me I can keep going. The
next challenge to figure out all the other features!
