Recap of Last 10 Miler

We had family in over the weekend, and I'm just not getting a chance to catch up.

Friday I ran a 10 miler (solo). Lately I've been running my long runs with my running buddy, but she was running 16 on Saturday. I wanted to get in a 12 mile run and my scheduled worked out best to run on Friday.

As you can guess, I only ran 10 instead of 12, but it was a good solid 10 and I was pleased with it. I had stomach issues (since I had eat the wrong foods prior to the run). So I wasn't surprised to find myself in need of relief around 4-5 miles into the run.

But ovberall it was a decent solid run. I had planned to run the following day, but instead went on a 6 mile hike with my sister-in-law on the Appalachian Trail. It was a nice workout. Then the following day, we had other plans so I still wasn't able to run.

I did however get a 3 mile run in today on the treadmill. This week is my first 18 miler (gulp) . So I am definitely hoping for a good running week.

The Half is fast approaching!

Running My Life

Wow, has it really been 2 years since my last post? I suppose that I allowed life to get in the way. For any faithful blog readers, I apologize. Although, I'm not sure how many people actually read blogs anymore. I think most people use other social media platforms.  (By the way, drop by and say hi on Insta. )  But for some reason, each year when I pay for my google domain, I can't seem to let it go. As silly as it sounds, this little space is mine. And lately I've been struggling with ownership and acceptance. And my domain renewal was a not so gentle reminder that I have a voice .  Seriously, you'd think by 48 that I'd have this figured out - nope - apparently not. However, I am wise enough to know that we have a choice to allow situations to harms us or make us stronger. I'm choosing to let this mid-life quandary make me stronger. And because of this, I'm setting goals, taking charge, and reexamining priorities.  Movin' on...

Self Care Is Not Selfish It's Necessary

It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. And I'll say it just one more time in case you didn't hear me. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. I have found through experience that when I'm not taking care of myself, not only do I suffer but my family suffers. So ditch the mom guilt and take the time that you need! I have a tendency to keep pushing my needs aside until I reach a breaking point. We've had a very busy fun summer so far. However, I've struggled to get some quality ' me ' time to decompress. I'll spare you the meltdown that ensued. But the reality check that followed prompted me to take action.

When The Planner In You Must Be Flexible

In case you haven’t figured this out by now, I’m a planner. I know - shocker right?!? :) So although I love substitute teaching, it’s making the planner in me anxious. And it’s been reeking havoc on my workouts. Basically the morning of or maybe the night before, I find out if I’m working. So my day ( that I thought I had planned ) can be turned upside down in an instant. But, truthfully, isn’t that really the same with everyone?
