So Let’s begin our journey!!

About 2 and a half years ago I approached my first training session with caution. I simply didn’t quite know what to expect. All I knew was that I was going to run and that’s it. I remember that session so well.

Stepping onto the track was a daunting experience but one I’m so pleased I took. I did my drills and warm ups. I was ready to start running, what happened next was something I wasn’t prepared for. I fell on my first run…. Was I worried? No. I got up and brushed myself down and said “AGAIN… I want to run again.” Now all this time later I am still running with my head held high and loving it. If I had given up based upon that fall I certainly wouldn’t be the person I am today.

You see sometimes in life we all take falls and it’s not why you fall or what makes you fall it’s how you get back up and deal with the knock backs that’s important. When you think I feel like giving up, don’t, get back up, brush yourself down and start again. In the words of a famous Chumbawamba song, “I get knocked down but I get up again you’re never gonna keep me down”

Start your week with this attitude.

Let’s do this!!
