10K on Saturday

So I'm registered for the 10K this weekend. The farthest that I have run/walked has been 4.1 miles since I have started back running. This will be the first time that I have done a race without doing the distance first. My goal - first is just to finish - second I would like to run the majority of it - third I would like to come in under 1:15:00.

Regardless it will be a challenge, but one that I am excited about completing .

    Good luck on your 10K!
    My husband and I are training now/again for the Hershey Half Marathon in Oct. We are in the relay which amounts to each of us running basically a 10K. I'm so far behind where I was this same time last year. I'm getting discouraged and worried that I won't be able to do the HHM a second time.
    I hope you reach your goal this weekend. Run well!

    I also signed up for the Hershey Half - what was I thinking! My goal is not to get picked up by the bus since there is a time limit this year. I've yet to do a half - this should be interesting :)

    I hear ya on the not being where you were last year. Hang in there and keep at it...

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?
