Choosing My Challenge

At the start of this semester when I got informed that I had to set myself a challenge I was stumped. I had no idea what to do and with everyone around me choosing half marathons I was becoming worried. I knew I had to choose wisely as it had to be something I could realistically complete in the time frame. I had to consider my past/on-going injuries to my knees and back and choose something that wouldn’t aggravate them or give me trouble managing them. I come up with the idea of indoor rowing and rowing 2kms in a really fast time and I put this idea to Brendon. He said that the rowing was a good idea but that it was at least 10km that I had to do. I hesitantly agreed. I set my time limit to be 55 minutes after I had done some calculating of the time it took me to do 2km. I chose indoor rowing because I had always enjoyed using the rowing machines in the past at school and past time I had gone to the gym. I also chose this because I always wanted to be a rower but was never allowed. This challenge scared me but the thought of going to the gym regularly and sticking to a training programme I made for myself scared me even more.
