Keep going!

At the beginning of July we went to the beach on vacation with my hubby's family. While I was there I went running/walking a few of the mornings and really had a lot of time to think. I'm not a runner so it was a challenge for me to push myself. I gave myself landmarks to run to and then I would walk for a minute and start again. One morning while I was doing this there was a lady in front of me and at first I thought, "Well now I'm going to have to slow down and stay at her pace." Then I thought, "No I DON'T! I'm not going to let anyone get in the way of me reaching my goal." In this case it was running to the nearest stop sign. So I RAN super fast past her and at that moment I thought about how that pertains to life. How many times do we let others determine or get in the way of goals that we set for ourselves? It has happened in my life more times than I would care to count. We have to keep our eye on the prize no matter what goal we have set. It doesn't have to necessarily pertain to fitness. It could be school or a relationship or even your career. I just felt that I should write this down and encourage each and everyone of you to fight to achieve the goals you have set for yourself. However big or small, just do it! Don't let someone or something get in the way. If they do just run super fast past them and keep going!
