This weekend I was fortunate enough to join in on a 24-hour relay race with members of my running small group, Strides. 2 1-hr blocks dedicated to each participating member to run/walk/move as much as possible to challenge themselves and just to have fun. Some blazed 2 hours in one shot (them), others creeped (me, 1 hour at a time), but we all connected and enjoyed the fellowship and encouragement. 😊
And, I unofficially ran my first almost 10K and stretched my limits beyond what I thought was possible without much pre-training. An amazing, humbling and confidence-lifting experience – and with a medal! (Keef likes medals… 😅) So very blessed and thankful for the opportunity to do something with an incredible group of guys and something out of my comfort zone (i.e., the couch). 😅
