This is a story of manifesting a dream, having the courage of going beyond the comfort zone and going full on to achieve the defined goal. What appeared like an insurmountable task, seemed as simple as tying the knot and saying “get set go”.
The differentiating factor or shall we state Unique Selling Point of this story is what started as fun run of one person soon culminated into pyramid of five avid runners. This is inspirational journey of Rachna, Niti, Vasuda, and Namu (R N V N sounds like I Run V Run), who had signed for Joy-miles 15 kms trail run on March 15. Mind you none of them have ever ran some distance let alone 15 kms!!! Most if not all of them strongly believed they just can’t get there. It all started with an inner drive amongst them to challenge themselves, to grow stronger, and to explore what their body was truly capable of. At first, they ran in an attempt to build endurance, then every run every km completed felt like a small victory, motivating R N V N to push a little further. The journey that lasted 6 – 9 weeks made each of them strong mentally, energetic, and confident. Soon, the negative message in their mind changed from cannot run at all to I can do 3 -5 kms, and later on transformed to wow I just completed 10 kms. Training regime of 6 – 9 weeks enabled them discover the benefits of running be it enjoying motivational songs playlist, becoming running buddies, creating an Ardelean rush to do more, and clearing the cluttered mind. Similar to R N V N; encourage readers to create healthy chain by encouraging their family (husband and kids!!!) and friends to run.
