Woo Hoo.. I did it. My last run was sometime in November. So today was the first time that I had run in a long time. The wind was blowing (wind chills in the teens), snow on the ground, ice in the road, a few snow flurries here and there, but I did it anyway. I ran a little over 2 miles and didn’t walk one step. I felt like my lungs were going to explode, but I didn’t stop. It’s amazing how setting a goal, no matter how large or small, and finishing the goal gives such a great feeling of accomplishment.
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.
