One Step at a Time

Soooo happy it’s Friday! I’m off to the gym early today (yay!) , and then heading out to do some site visits at various hospitals / continuing care centres around the city. It’s one of my favorite parts about my job.

I just can’t get this phrase outta my head … Chris coined it in a reply yesterday … and I keep asking myself: Bev, what does your personal finish line look line??

For me, at that line, I am a runner. I am fit, strong, lean (gasp!) . I have crossed the line because I said I was going to, and I worked hard for it. At the finish line, I have run away from all of the negative self-talk that slows me from reaching my goals, and “Wow, I did this” is all I need to say. At the finish line, the people I love are there to support me, and by crossing it, I will plant the idea in my children that they too can do anything they set their mind to.

This is a great vision, and I plan to use it more when I run.

I know that my personal finish line is going to keep changing … “finish” line being a non-concept then. I’m curious: what does your personal finish line look like? What’s the thing that you have to overcome to say ” I did it” ? For me, it’s my first race, losing more weight, gaining more fitness. You?

Happy Friday!
