OVERALL RATING
As I began week 7 of my 12 week journey to a 5K wasnât the best I could hope for. I have a goal in mind but greatness is birthed out of adversity. That's the thing about running: your greatest runs are rarely measured by racing success. They are moments in time when running allows you to see how wonderful your life is. As I begin my 7th week I am starting to feel what I had back in school in the 70âs. Running has always been a relief and a sanctuary for me. It was something I could get lost in. In my shy quiet teen age world it was something that made me feel good, both physically and mentally. For me it's not so much about the health benefits. Those are great, and I am thankful for them. I believe that the best thing about running is the joy it brings to my life again. I may log my miles inside for now but I am rediscovering that feeling I use to have. Running allows me to set my mind free. Nothing seems impossible, nothing unattainable. Everyday as I work out and post I hope I can inspire at least one person who maybe woke up today and didnât feel up to the challenge. Even though the majority of the time I am positive I have my inner struggles and mountains to climb. I have my fears. I am a #fitgrandpaonajourney #fitguyonajourney and it includes all those things. See others around you as your friends. Your only real competitor is yourself. The idea is to beat the distance, not the person next to you. So hang in there, stay positive, and take positive energy from everyone around you. I want to be part of that positivity in your life. #nikerunclub #fastedcardio
