Alright y’all, I did it. Despite all of the thoughts in my head telling me I probably couldn’t do it. I did. The past year or so was a tough one for my personal health. So much so that I put up these mental blocks telling myself I couldn’t or wouldn’t be able to do things because I didn’t think I was capable or strong enough. I was wrong. Today I blasted away one of those mental blocks in my head. I ran and completed a 25 obstacle 5k mud run with my Anytime Fitness gym family and I had a blast. Not every obstacle was easy. I wasn’t able to run the whole time. There were times that giving up sounded better than having to deal with being uncomfortable and being pushed to the limits. At the highest weight I have ever been. I did it. Fitness isn’t all about weight, how much you can weigh, how far you can run, it’s about being a better you and making progress towards your goals. I am a warrior. You are a warrior. So let’s tackle life head on. Thank you to all my gym fam, and also the random strangers who helped me push back one of my biggest fears and accomplish such a huge personal goal. #anytimefitness #ruggedmaniac #dadecity #fitfam #gymfam #fitness #fitnessmotivation #persevere #dontgiveup #dontstoprunning (at Rugged Maniac 5K Obstacle Race)
