Recently I did a relay half marathon with some friends. The event left me buzzing!
I was reflecting on what made it the magic mix…
We had the Planner – she’d scoped out an event that would challenge all of us in different ways, organised us, and even walked the course (clip board not required).
The Marketing Guru who spotted the opportunity and took the time to throw herself and us into supporting a great cause.
The Well-being Manager, who not only made sure we were in the right place at the right time, but that we had our bananas, water and everything else on hand in case it was needed.
And, of course, there was the support crew, that is the husbands and kids who stayed at home while we had our weekend away.
Running for something else and someone else meant I pushed myself harder than if I had been going it alone. The challenge, a mix of Queen, laughs and, yes, some wine was energising in a way that I hadn’t realised I needed.
All that and we made it under two hours with 8 seconds to spare…
