We, as a family, have been Spartans, maybe we’ll be again soon. I am talking about these races that crazy people do to have fun, this military-like workout that we do in times of peace. Just crazy. This all begun, if I remember correctly, because we wanted to motivate ourselves as a family, and just heard that there was “kids-spartan race”! We enrolled few other friends with us, so that was actually lots of fun!
And I am glad we did it! it installed a workout spirit, a sense of the effort, a discovery of our potentials, strength, and power, a need for imagination to be able to train at home, a complicity within the entire family, positivity all together! We were an example for our kids, we discovered what we were able to reach out our goals – although I was skeptical that we could. We also discovered that our body could change with time, that effort is a question of regularity and training, day after day, small steps one after the other.
It’s crazy how this is written everywhere but that these things you think you know for sure, they actually make sense only when you really experiment them, when you realize the power of it… as it is for everything in life!
Unfortunately, we, as human being, would never learn, unless we are experiencing it, feeling it, in the joy or in pain, in happiness or diseases; so maybe we won’t really improve with time, since each generation is coming back to the baseline…. Well, never mind, for now, let’s keep going, it feels good!
P.S. And I wanted to add that I am super hyper proud of my buddy who reached the highest milestone arriving the 2nd of all participants in the Ultra in Malaysia last November…. 50 km, 60 obstacles in 7h33min… no comment!
