When's the last time you stepped out of your comfort zone?

I had some friends ask if I would fill a last minute team position for an adventure race last weekend.

Without too much thought put into the answer, it was a yes.. I have dabbled in adventure racing pre kids and love the ruggedness and challenge.

The 12km run took about 1 hour 20 min which is probably 20 mins more than I have run for quite a few years. The real deal is the sheer mountain that you have to run (walk) up. Thighs were burning so much that they went numb but it was the best pain ever!  This mixed with the 10 creek bed crossings and getting lost is what makes adventure racing addictive.

I am a few days on now and still hobbling around. I put myself out of my comfort zone for a couple of hours (and still am) but the feeling of accomplishment lasts longer....

When was the last time you stepped out of your comfort zone?what did you do?
