Just What I needed



4:30am was early (again) this morning. And it was cold. But this 6 mile run today was exactly what I needed. It was a nice comfortable pace. My legs were a little sore from the long run on Sunday in addition to the crosstraining yesterday, but overall if felt pretty good. My breathing was better. And I was able to pick it up for the last mile.

My stomach hated me, but it often does. But other than needing to make a pit stop, I could have kept going once the run was over. I haven't felt this good about a run since I got sick. So it was nice to have a run that left me feeling more confident than nervous.

I'm thinking Thursday's run will be 8, and Sunday's run will be 17.

But we'll see how things are feeling after Thursday's run.

    Wow, that really is an early run. And here's me thinking I'm an early bird because I do the school run, running around 8 in the morning.

      Yes, most of my runs are very early. I usually have to get them in before my husband goes to work. So I get home about the time my husband and son are up and eating breakfast.

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?
