Today marks the kick off for the Winter Couch to 5k program I help mentor over at the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans. I'm very proud of the over 125 women who have committed to becoming runners in 2014. Taking the first step and being willing to get outside of your comfort zone is a huge accomplishment.
However, I've already had some mention they have tried to complete the program in the past but they always "fail". Or that they've done one workout and it was hard and "This is why I fail". I'm very bothered by this automatic assumption that they are going to fail.
Here's a newsflash.
This applies to more than just getting through a 9 week C25K program. Yes, learning how to run is HARD. Starting any exercise program when you've been sedentary is HARD. Having the courage to keep going when you feel like giving up is HARD.
If you don't like failing, then don't quit. You are so much stronger than you realize.
