I loved the view in the neighbourhood and wanted the fresh air. I needed to get into shape so why wouldn't I try to go for a stroll? Well, I was a bit over weight and knew I needed to make some changes. Little did I know that my health was not as good as I thought. I lost my breath and hardly made it home. I couldn't believe that a straight forward, 5k walk would do so much to me. I knew then I had to start to make changes.
Fast forward to now. A few years later and with some perseverance I now can easily do more than 10k combining walking, running and yes, climbing. I figure, if I can over come that hill, those stairs and that road I may be able to do more. So almost every day I challenge myself to go further. It doesn't matter that someone might have a chuckle at me, or that another may have doubts. This isn't for them. I'll look back at today in a few years with a grin, standing somewhere I thought I'd never be.
You should too.
