In terms of getting stronger, or loosing weight, running with extra weights can be a good thing. But as I drove home today I envisioned a person getting ready for a race - a 5k run. Jumping up and down, ready, excited. He wore shorts and a tank top, a sweatband around his head and tennis shoes. He was amped and ready to go. There were many other runners as well, also amped and excited and ready to run the race. There was one major difference about this runner: He wore weights. Big heavy weights (like the ones you see above). He also had a ball and chain on each ankle, dumbells in his hands and leg weights. He thought he was ready.
When we approach our 5k run - the one we want to finish - our race, are we approaching with extra weight? Or have you really done everything to shed those un-needed pounds hanging on you? Anyone can see that this runner won't make it even part of the way - if he even gets started - with all this extra nonsense he's wrapped up in. And there's no way he's gonna do well - he probably won't even place when its said and done, if he even finishes.
What things still weigh you down? Failure? Guilt? Anger? Rejection? Fear? Anxiety? Frusteration? Dissapointment?
How will you run your race?
