Outside My Comfort Zone



Lori posted on my Facebook about doing the Warrior Dash in Crawfordsville on August 17th.  She wondered if I would be interested.  I checked it out, and it terrifies me.  The run part?  No problem.  It is the obstacles that I am worried about...especially things where I have to pull myself up and over.  What did I tell her?  Yes! 

Argh!  What was I thinking?  I totally blame my decision to do it on the fact that I have been sick.  Clearly it has affected my brain. 

Seriously, though, it does terrify me that I have committed to doing this.  At the same time, the whole journey I have been on started with a decision that terrified me so it should probably continue with more terrifying decisions, right? 

Bring on August 17th! 

 

I want to share part of an e-mail that I received from a friend of mine.  These words were exactly what I needed to hear when she sent them, and maybe some of you may need to hear them, too.

"Remember this is something that is a life change - it won't happen in a day, week or month - it's forever. So, it's very normal that you just want to throw up your arms and enjoy some junk! We all do that! Let yourself do that and get it out of your system and move on!"

I am hoping to head back to work tomorrow.  I miss my kids, and I miss the outside world.  I may try to do a walk tomorrow to see how it goes.  I don't want to have a relapse.  Hope you are all having a great week!
