It's been a while since I blogged about running.
Not for a lack of running, just for a lack of blogging.
When I started blogging, it was a new adventure.
Now running is a way of life.
For that- I am oh so thankful!
Since my run with Miles for Moffit, there have been a couple new running adventures.
A Color Me Rad 5K
Paddle Boarding
Ok- this isn't even in the running category- but it was a challenge. Not that it was difficult physically but challenge my fear of the unknown and doing something so out of my norm. I truly felt a sense of conquering! Again - running is about facing limitations and overcoming them. That's what I did on that board! Again two thumbs up and a recommendation to add this to your list.
The Citadel at Cap Haitian in Haiti.
This was not running - but walking an incline that matched that of the Great Wall of China - and I've climbed the Great wall of China so I know! (I would love to know if anyone could ever RUN this!) It was told to us that it would be seven miles straight up. So for two months I took hills and did a million steps in preparation. It ended up being only a few miles as we were able to park higher up than originally told we could. However, the incline was so ferociously steep and the pull of gravity so heavy, I have no doubt we wouldn't have made 7 miles. It would have taken much more training than I did. Still the sense of accomplishment after much huffing and puffing was thrilling! The views were A-mazing. This was an OFFICIAL CHECK OFF on my OFFICIAL Bucket List!
After all these sweet new adventures I was left with a tenacious desire to do a lot more in the next 12 months to challenge myself and experience the unknown at a greater level.
So-
December 7th - me and my sweetest race buddies will be getting "PRETTY MUDDY!"
