In this virtual world what we write is a reflection of us. For someone like me who is in introvert, being here has opened me up. It took me about 8 months before I truly had a voice. I write my blogs for me and those who are open and interested in my life. That’s what a blog is, a place for us, any of us to have free speech. Whether or not it’s boring, that’s not my problem nor do I care. I chose to open it for the public to read. If you don’t want to read my blog, then skip it - there’s 100’s of blogs written each day! Go read and support those blogs.
Whether I get one comment, no comment or 10 comments, I’m doing this for me and that one other person who is looking for support. If that one person happens to be 30, well, guess what, I did my job as a buddy. The key word is buddy. I am that, your buddy, your friend, should you have me. Should you not, then please, stay away from my page, my blog, my comments.
Whether I spend 5 minutes here or 5 hours here, God gave me the freedom to be me and do as I please. No one will ever stop me from speaking my mind, loving my friends here or giving support.
My skin, that WAS thin, is a bit thicker. It takes a lot to get through now.
Friends, the ones who has been here with me each day, YOU MEAN SO MUCH TO ME! I’M HONORED TO BE YOUR FRIEND. No, you can’t shut this girl up. She will take her time to spend getting to know you, to know those who are willing to take my hand and take this journey together.
Day 1 Back to outside running
Day one of my marathon training and I’m on course. With Blaithin, I love Little Flower, in my head, I strapped on my shoes and just went for it. No excuses. Girl, I did it mama. After my warm-up and stretch, I had a hard time getting into a running groove, but after about 1 mile, I found it…yep you would be proud of me. I set a goal for a stop light, surpass it and kept running. I did about 4+ miles of run with about 1 1/2 mile of walk in between if that. With my buddies cheering me on in my head, the excitement of a race, the desire to perform well and some great music playing in my ears, I ran and loved it!!!!!!!
Running outside is a bit harder then the treadmill, but today I enjoyed it more. It’s all about our mental state.
I hunger to succeed and I will.
Day 2
Back to strength training and my push-ups tomorrow morning and yoga at night. Yep, took almost 6 days for the soreness in my shoulders to go away. Boy, I need to do that Pilates class again.
Foodwise, this is the last day of no counting holiday. Tomorrow, I will be back at it.
