well yesterday I completed my first ever city to surf. 14 hilly kilometres later I crossed the finish line, very tired but extremely elated that I had finished!!!!
i actually did it!!! i had been saying for years that I wanted to do this but had to wait to I got fitter, slimmer etc etc blah blah blah..... well this year I JFDI and it felt so good to shove all those excuses away and just get on with it.
yes i am a little slimmer than before...and yes I am a little fitter than before but I am not yet slim and fit but why should that be an excuse to not participate in life???
And what a day it was, lining up at the start was just so amazing, being surrounded by so many people, all with the same aim as myself, to get to the finish line. It is a wonderful trip with lots of fabulous views if you are not travelling so fast that you miss them...lol... no chance of that with me I walked the whole way. but for me the journey is not about how fast you get there, just so long as you are moving in the right direction.
I now have a time to better next year and have got two more fun fun/walks on my calendar for later in the year really looking forward to them. Who would have thought that I would actually look forward to something that involves exercise???
