No Risk. No Reward.

Day 103

"Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go."

I stole this off BFL Pete's thread today... Sorry Pete. It's just too good not to share. This phrase really hit home for me. I have a long history of not believing in myself. It wasn't until very recently, approximately 103 days ago to be exact, that I jumped into the deep end hoping I could swim.

Look how far I've come. I mentioned on Sunday that one of my goals was to achieve a 16 minute mile this week. Tonight, I left it all on the treadmill and I ran a 15:08 minute mile. Please allow me to repeat that ... a 15:08 minute mile!!!! I'm pretty sure if I increase the speed of my two minute wam up 3.2 mph, I can get it down to 15 minutes.

Go back to the top and read the quote again... I'm serious. What is holding you back from seeing how far you can go?  We all have dreams and things we want to change or accomplish. Trust me when I say this... if I can change my life, so can you! I know it's not easy. But, it is possible. It doesn't matter if you're trying to lose weight, quit smoking, build muscle, run faster, eat better etc. If you believe in yourself and work hard, you can do it. Take a risk. What do you have to lose?

Cheers!
