Growing up I hated running, I hated the idea of it, I hated how it made me feel.⁣

⁣

There was this one baseball practice where I was so behind everyone else and I was in the back with the “bigger guys” ⁣

⁣

But I wasn’t a “bigger guy” by any means, I was just as average sized as any of the other kids.⁣

⁣

I catch my breathe after being one of the last kids to finish the run around the park

⁣

I immediately felt out of place from everyone else



I felt like I didn’t belong almost instantly after that



I knew change was coming after that..

⁣

That same out of shape chubby kid, that could’ve even keep up with the 7th grade baseball team. Just did something that he thought was impossible. ⁣

I clocked my time at 1:58:15, which Is a PR for me! Now that’s not great by any means but it’s a new standard for me. That’s roughly a 9:00 min. Per mile pace ⁣

⁣

But if I didn’t take action when I was 13 years old, and out of shape, and running with the bigger guys. I never would have even thought this was possible. ⁣

⁣

Even after going through highschool sports I still saw running as a barrier for me, recently I said “fu&k you running”.⁣

⁣

This new Nasser, not only went the distance, but I got more…I want more…⁣⁣

⁣

Once you start setting that standard higher and higher, you’ll start seeing possibilities..

⁣

Maybe right now you think you can’t lose fat and put on muscle ⁣

⁣

That you can’t change your appearance, that you can’t change how you look. That your just destined to be in this situation for the rest of your life…⁣
