I'm back...yes it took a while to get to where I wanted to write again. It's not that life has been bad, it's just been different. I'm different, I'm older, and so are my kids. My point of view is different, I can actually start thinking about a career now. I have felt very lost when it came to thinking about that, my mind was always changing like the second hand of a clock. It was very frustrating and it was hard not to feel down. I think I have found something that I can get passionate about, which I will share sometime soon.
I just got back from a run, and for some reason I feel the need to write about it. I caved and signed up for the marathon on the last day of sign ups. I had a few reservations, 1. Training is H A R D. 2. What if my I. T. Band gives me problems like 2 yrs ago and I can't train? 3. What if my feet gives me problems like one year ago and I can't train? 4. I feel like I'm not a really a runner, it seem harder for me :( 5. Training is H A R D. 6. I didn't have a running partner (I have one now :)
I didn't sleep well the first night, a bit nervous thinking about my long road of commitment and training, but once a few friends were willing to train with me, that really helped. And, last night a gal asked me if I signed up for the marathon and told me she did too. So now I have an answer to prayer....a running partner. The tender mercies of a loving Heavenly Father. I am so grateful.
I just got back from a run, and for some reason I feel the need to write about it. We went running this morning about 4 miles, my running partner, Kim is 41 and a Rock Star!!!! I am 36 and not a rock star, and feel very incapable. It's so hard not to compare myself, I hate it, it's automatic. I want running to be easy for me, I don't know if it ever will be, therefore it's really hard to love it. I know weird. I like that it keeps me in shape, and hopefully ward off the extra pounds, but yes it is very hard. So there you have it. I will keep a running log of my training. Hopefully, I can find joy in this, I am trying to have a good attitude.
Oh Mr L. and I did a 1/2 marathon about 2 weeks ago, again it was a killer, but yeah, I should have trained better ;). Mr. L finished 1 hr. 58 mins. I finished 2 hrs. 30 mins.
