Six days ago my life changed dramatically. I had been preparing for this day for a long time and I knew it would be pretty big but I really didn’t know how big until it happened. Six days ago I ran my first race ever, a half marathon- thirteen point one miles of pure exhilaration and immense struggle in every sense of the word. And here I am days later reflecting on my experience and wanting more. And, in fact, will run C-bus in a little over two weeks on October 18th.
When I lined up just minutes before the beginning there was this feeling of completely being in the moment if that makes sense. Here I was, I belonged at that line this is what I was meant to do. I finally found IT! It’s not that I have decided that I’m going to be some kind of professional at this but, that I have found my balance. I love my husband and family and have so much enjoyment and satisfaction with them and I have a fulfilling career. However, running is about me and about what’s in my own head and with my own physical being. The positive feed back from my husband and children doesn’t hurt either.
So with this I have decided to start writing down my feelings, idea’s, training plans and (I’m sure) disappointments as I move along the continuum. And today will be a light day; a little bit of interval training on the treadmill (yuck) since it is raining pretty steady outside.
