After cleaning the crayons whirls and squirls from the TV screen and rescuing a fallen toddler from her crib – she was laid splayed out on her back waiting for me to pick her up, poor thing, tears and screams a plenty, the morning turned into the afternoon and then the evening.
The weather went from very wet to dry and then wet again with the wind thrown in there. I had planned to run this morning but the rain and rain was relentless so I turned off my alarm clock and went back to sleep.
Saturday morning I will run even if it is pouring with more rain and the wind is accompany it.
I just signed up for a half marathon in July and need to start training now. No more excuses. I am actually excited to run again. To push myself and put myself out of my comfort zone. You all should try it. It’s good for you. You’d be surprised what you can actually accomplish when confronted full on with your fears or what you have told yourself that you cannot possibly do. I am not just speaking about running here. Any thing that you feel you want and cannot have because it feels too monumental once taken and looked at and broken down into stages is accomplishable. You just have to believe in yourself and your ability. It’s what I did and hey presto with training and actually breaking through the fear I did it. I ran my first marathon in 2005 and then again in 2009 and intend to do it again this year. I ran my first half marathon last year and will run it again this Summer. I am excited. I am not nervous. Not anymore anyway because I have done it already. Who knew I would have the confidence to ever write those words down.
Happy you to going for that thing that you have feared in the past.
Go get it.
