I was asked to participate in an Outrigger canoe race over weekend. Bad news? I’ve never been in an Outrigger before. Good news? I got a free lunch.
I’m a little on the terrified side of water so when I held up my oar waiting for the signal to start, it shook from my trembling arms. Shaking oars aren’t exactly a great intimidation tactic.
Remarkably, we won the first race by nearly a full boat length… then sadly lost the next two.
Here we are winning…
Sunday, I participated in a 5K running event put on by a close friend. Since I walk or run 3-5 miles a few times each week, I thought a 5K run after the Outrigger race would be easy. It never crossed my mind to ask if the event was going to take place on the beach in the sand.
And at the finish line…
I’m not sure if my body will ever forgive me.
By Sunday evening, I was exhausted but happy to have finished both races. It was a stretch but as I relaxed on the couch, I smiled because I finished something I didn’t think I could do and I wondered…
Is this a preview of what it will feel like to be debt free?
