Not A Good Week Fitness Friday Linkup 6/7/2013

-
Not a good week here this week.. I got in one 3 mile run on Tuesday morning. I did wake up with a small case of vertigo Tuesday, but it passed. So I was able to get a 3 mile run in. I even went to the gym and did weights. But around 3pm on Tuesday, the vertigo came back with a vengeance. And it's still here :( 

I have a Half marathon a week from tomorrow. I'm really hoping this clears up soon!

    Sorry to hear this :( I'm injured so I haven't been able to run for awhile now. I feel your pain.

    Hope you're feeling better for your half. Good luck :)

    Oh no! Have you had vertigo before? My mother has meniere's disease and had lots of vertigo problems. She has it under control now, but has had to dramatically eliminate salt from her diet?

      Nope, not really. I had it once about 20 years ago after I was really sick and it was an inner ear thing. I'm feeling better. So I'm hoping that maybe I'm on the mend!

      :) Yeah, I keep reminding myself that technically I've only missed 2 runs (ha). Hopefully I'm going to get well soon so I can get a couple of runs in next week.

    Off weeks sucks, makes you really appreciate the times where you are feeling good.... even if you are tired.
    My kids were sharing caring again, and it looks like I have another cold. I have a 10mi |16km run coming up 15th June, so I would like to be better for that, cause it's an awesome club race.
    Hope you don't get any more vertigo. And good luck with your up coming race.

    First of all I L.O.V.E ice cream, I literally have a list of all the ice cream stands in my area that I will be visiting this summer.....but secondly, don't get down on yourself for a slow running week. Sometimes you just need those, then you'll have an even better one after that!

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?
