Today I ran 1 mile + walked 1 mile. I'm very proud of myself because today was a long day! Yesterday I read a blog that inspired me. A friend of mine in high school has her own blog. She writes about being a parent, wife, and a runner. Here recently she ran a marathon. As I was reading her journey through 26.2 miles and what it was like getting through the training, I was just amazed how she did it. She can get up early and make running a priority even when she has two very important roles to fulfill, being a mother and a wife. I admire her for being able to deal with everyday life one day at a time. I wish I can do that. I've let fear, anxiety and depression stand in my way. It has guided me toward a life I do not want for myself. So today I started making a change. Even though I was tired from work, I can not let that get in my way. I was thinking that when I start to really get a good running schedule, I know I'll start feeling much better. Emotionally, physically, and mentally. I'm looking forward to heading in the right direction for my life.
Thank you to my high school friend for letting me know that it may seem like you don't have enough time in the world to train for a marathon, but if you make it a priority then you'll find the time.
I'm giving this new layout design a try. I've been in the festive mood lately and wanted to jazz up my blog page to give it a little Christmas flair.
Love the festive theme! Can't wait to continue reading about your training! You CAN do it! It takes time, but I never regret running. I found that getting up early got it off my plate. Some days I would even forget that I'd already ran!! Keep up the good work!
