Yesterday while I was watching The Biggest Loser - Where Are They Now episode, Bob said something that really hit home. He was talking about running a 5k, and he said it's not about "competing" it's about "completing." What a thought?! So many times we consider participating in something, and think if we can't compete with others, is it really worth it? Sure it is! It's not about competing with others, it's about competing with SELF.
I think back to just a mere two and one half weeks ago, and the fact that completing a two mile run was more than I could imagine. Now, even with the onset of my annual winter cold, I successfully finished my three mile run. Sure, I didn't run the entire distance, but I was able to finish one of the three miles in 12 minutes - a HUGE accomplishment to date! Not only that, I finished the entire three miles - not willingly, but with great determination - knowing that it's just a part of the journey. I can't get to the end without completing these increments - one-by-one - and moving on to the next.
Today I'm determined to finish the 20 minute Farltek Session - and do it the right way (unlike last week, when I ran 1 minute and jogged/walked 4 minutes). My goal for the day is to remember that it's about COMPLETION...nothing more, nothing less!
