Training Continues

Well, it's coming along... training that is. I've joined a new gym, and I'm trying out some different classes. So far Piloxing, Pilates and Pi/Yo have been on the list.

Today was a six miler on the treadmill. It wasn't fun, but I got it done. I did have to stop mid-run to use the facilities (one of the perks of running at home in your basement is the bathroom is right upstairs). Hubby was kind enough to let me sleep in today AND still get my run in. Woo Hoo.

Once my six miler was finished, Lil Man and I went to the new gym. This was his first time, and I wasn't sure how he would handle it. But apparently he did fine. They did give him his pacifier (which is fine). He only has it in the crib, the car and in 'stressful Mommy is leaving me with strangers' situations. I actually had to drag him out of the child's center at the gym. So hopefully he is going to do fine there.

The count down continues for the Marathon.. only... ten... weeks... left... we'll see if I'm ready.

The long run this weekend is 13 miles. So if I complete this run, I am up to half of the distance.

Here's to hoping that all of my body parts cooperate.

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.

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... 

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?
