As I stand on the brink of another endurance challenge, the familiar mix of excitement, nerves, and anticipation rushes through me. It's been six months since I last pushed my limits, conquering a 100km run followed by a 50km feat just two weeks later. Since then, however, illness and injury have tested my resolve, leaving me uncertain about where my limits lie. Yet, one thing remains unwavering, I will give it my all.
Tomorrow marks the beginning of my latest endeavour: a backyard ultra. The task is daunting yet straightforward, I must run 4.2 miles every hour, on the hour, until my body or mind can no longer take it. With each passing hour, the challenge will intensify, pushing me to the brink of my physical and mental capabilities. But amidst the uncertainty and the looming challenge, there is a glimmer of purpose, a vision that fuels my determination. As the founder of VIM Fundraising, I am embarking on this journey not only for personal growth but also to integrate the values of VIM into every stride. VIM, with its focus on vitality, integrity, and mindfulness, serves as my guiding light, reminding me of the importance of holistic well-being, both on and off the track.
Throughout this journey, I will be documenting my progress, sharing glimpses of the highs and lows, the triumphs and struggles. From the initial excitement of arrival to the gruelling moments on the trail, I hope you join me. Through video clips and reflections after each loop, I hope to show a raw and authentic insight into the challenges of endurance running and the power of perseverance.
As I chuck on my shoes and embark on this adventure, I ask you all to be courageous and one day do something similar. Wish me luck as I push my limits, chase my dreams, and strive to embody the spirit of VIM in every stride. Together, let's run for a healthier tomorrow - one step at a time.
