The weekend event title has me thinking! We all have a reason. A reason to train, a reason to compete. We all have different reasons to do the things we do every day.
Some people train to fit into their jeans, some to achieve something they thought they never could. Some train harder to attain a PB in their chosen event. while some are turning pro & have to achieve results to do so.
We all have a reason. At the run on the weekend my reason was to help my 10year old run the furtherest she ever had, & finish her first running event. We had 4.5km to run with a goal time of 35mins, & had never run more than 3km. She achieved her goal & got to go home proud of her efforts.
Pride comes in many forms too. Pride in simply crossing that line, or in the Higher Faster Stronger motto of BYL.
Whatever the reason it seems that we all work hard to achieve our goals & continue to find new ones.
The other reason to compete yesterday was to show support to our coach & friend Ray! After all what better thing to do than run with Ray for his Birthday! He can be very proud of all who donned the Break Your Limits tops & ran for their own reason!
I was also intrigued by the motto Act Belong Commit.
Act; We are all held accountable for our actions every day. Whether it be in our chosen training regime or life in general.
Belong; We all belong to Break Your Limits. A group of people sharing a common vision to achieve in sport. A family brought together by Ray!
Commit; If we didn’t commit ourselves we wouldn’t achieve. Our commitments vary & don’t always come off, but without the commitment we would have no goals!
