Still moving forward.... I think.....

Wow, it's been a while. Sorry to be so distant from my bloggin' buddies. But as some of you know from past posts, my life is spinning all over the place. I'm not going to say it is spinning out of control, because I do have complete control of it. It is just "all over the place".

My last post on moving forward has got me thinking....... a lot! I really do think I am moving forward, although I have recently found myself back at home with my parents! Wait! Is that really moving forward? haha From the looks of it, I don't seem much further down the road that I did when I was in high school. Well, looks can be deceiving, right?

I mean, I AM a mother of two gorgeous three year old twins. I have a career that I am proud of. I have completed two triathlons and numerous 5K races in the past year. So, I guess I would say, Yes! I am quite a bit further down the road than it looks to the naked eye. Sometimes we come full circle when we are trying to get further ahead. And there is nothing wrong with that.

Now, on to some "run talk".........

With all that has been going in my personal life, my running has really taken a back seat. But in the past month, I have made a commitment to myself and to my training, to out-do my goals from last year. So far, I am on the right track. Ran 5 miles last night and felt great! I have a 5K race coming up in March and I'm super excited about it! I can't wait to be in the company of dozens of other racers, newbies and seasoned, all confident in themselves that they are about to complete their first or their fiftieth race. It is a wonderful feeling!

Happy training everyone!
