stretching my limits

This weekend for fitness class, Sifu Regier was pinch hitting and decided to take us for a little 'stroll'. I'll admit when I saw the post on kwoon talk to bring shoes, I cringed. I havent ran very much this year, in fact that was my fourth time out and all the others had been just short jogs with walks. I was afraid I wasnt up to the challenge, but stubborn enough to show up anyway. I think we all amazed ourselves. First, that everyone that showed up, was very encouraging of each other--that we showed up! Mr Hamiltons young son even ran it in rubber boots! Thats showing us adults up.lol. No whining from the rest of us, when he could do that. We ended up running somewhere between 8 and 10km we figured...awesome!! I've NEVER run that distance before--never even considered that I could! I completely amazed and curious now to know how many other barriers I've set for myself that are holding me back without my realizing it. Hopefully this year of UBBT will continue to be a barrier shattering time. I may just have to go for another long run tomorrow to celebrate.
