Take the Challenge.
What is the best way of knowing you are alive? What if you were just living in a dream? Remember when they say,"Pinch me, am I dreaming?" well, I have always tried to figure out why I like to run the 800.
For some strange reason, whenever asked what event I run and I respond with, "the 800!" with a happy smile on my face (always expecting the same sad answer "Why??") and they look at me like I am crazy.
I am here to explain myself, and explain why you should like running too.. or exercising. You should really think about it:
When you workout, it's painful. You are essentially tearing down your muscles (that doesn't sound fun at all) but in the end, they are rebuilt! They are stronger, more durable and you look better too! Maybe you do it for the results, but when you are pushing yourself to the limits, there is something that you can enjoy in those moments.
You feel alive.
You are doing something to better yourself. You are taking something painful and turning it around.
You are getting a massive rush of endorphin's and energy.
Did you know that your body sends the same signal for anxiousness/fear and excitement? It's just what you perceive that as. Next time you step to the line and you get that rush, take it as excitement. Challenge yourself.
No pinching needed. Run the 800 feel alive. That is why I enjoy it.
My challenge is to look at the things that may bring pain or fear and to turn them around. What have you got to lose?
Sincerely,
Jamie Rae
