My team and I completed the 10k, 20 obstacle, mud run today.
…The one everybody was in their feels about yesterday—unsure of how to act as they moved slowly towards that place that’s outside of the ol’ comfort zone.
…But, move forward they did. No back outs; no bad energy; no hesitations. Everybody did their best and many… beat their previous bests.
Old ideas of what their perceived limits were—were smashed; new limits were reached; and many of them left with something they’ll hold onto for life.
Here are some of the things that were shared in our group chat after the run:
- “I had no idea our bodies + brains could do so much…”
- “This was definitely an amazing memory and experience…”
- “Something I will never forget…”
- “A Tough Mudder was not something I ever though of doing & I did originally come up with all the reasons not to, but figured I had nothing to lose by trying. Thanks everyone for making this such an amazing experience!”
Some questions for you, dear reader, to reflect on: when’s the last time you challenged one of your perceived limits? As in, actively tried to do something that you’re pretty sure you “can’t” do…? Maybe it’s time to get something into your calendar you can train for…? Maybe it’s time to team up with a group of people who are heading in that direction…?
…Maybe it’s time to try?
