The title is quoted from Cherie Horne's blog. Her statement typifies what I've been alluding to lately, about being a freak. Well, when you read what she's achieved and how she prepares physically for mountain-climbing expeditions, it kinda makes me feel like my present level of fitness is nothing short of pathetic. And thinking about my blog name, 'No Ordinary Moments', makes my life look, well...quite...how do I put it....ORDINARY!
But hey...we're all on a journey, and no two people's journeys are ever the same. And anyway...we all start somewhere. Everybody is just at a different stage. Hell...8 months ago, I didn't believe I'd be where I am today, after a long time being the person I dreaded becoming...the sloth. But here I am, semi-fit and getting fitter. I'm feeling happy in my body for the first time in many years, and finally feel like the person looking back at me in the mirror, is who I am on the inside - the person I am meant to be. It's a very satisfying feeling.
And as I continue along my fitness journey, I've come to realise that as I progress, that it's important for me to find a role model, who typifies where I'm heading and what I am moving toward. Someone who engenders the type of 'craziness' I aspire toward - and at the moment, Cherie Horne fits the bill.
Oh...and if you want to read some more about Cherie, I'd recommend reading her interview with Craig Harper, which no doubt, many of you bloggers have already read.
Ciao for now...Kerry :)
