Sunday, September 5, 2010. Day that I look forward for a long time. This is a marathon! Well, I do not want to "brag" I still started with a 10 km. We will review the option of 21km next year! But for me, to 10km, it was quite a feat. I remember a time (... at the dawn of my twenties ...) during which I scorned the race completely. "2 km run? Are you crazy?" I'll never follow you! " I bet I'll tan you with my stories e x endless, but here is the gentleman who ran. Me, I preferred to pretend I do muscles at the gym while discussing everything and anything with my girlfriend. But at least I worked my jaw muscles, right? Yeah, I do not think it counts as a physical activity that ...
Then one day I decided to go and face my first 2 km. It was not easy. I gave myself with all my strength, my throat was bleeding, my breathing was difficult, I had a cramp in the stomach in the foot in the little toe ... In short, all the excuses were good for me to stop. Especially since while I ran, sir, he was walking! (We did not have the same length of stride, good!) As you can see, I did not stop. I continued, continued, continued ...
While he has always impressed me, I can tell you that today, it's me that runs more than him! Phew! What is his little 8km next to my 10? (Okay, there j'me "bragging "...) I
bluntly developed a passion for racing. It's an outlet, I surrender to the sound of my mp3 player, I look at my Polar watch with so much attention to make sure to run good heart, I have designed special shoes for my "Mosus "flat feet and even the little kit all-in-pink pair of games with my low ... (Those who know me will not be surprised that the little kit is pink! Woe to me: my running shoes are turquoise ...)
Conclusion: take my story as an example. I do not want to convince you to do the marathon tomorrow morning, but at least try to experience the race. If you feel discouraged, surround yourself. Find your friends, colleagues, family, anyone who can push you or motivate you to continue. The daily physical activity, it does not come alone. It should be of interest and have the desire to be active. As it is always easier to keep a tiny room for hours to make.
I am sure that stories like mine, y 'are others. And, if you tell me about how you are addicted to physical activity? Come on, it will encourage others.
Who knows, maybe will be there be next year's marathon?
