I have been so busy over the last few days with work and family (AND WORK) that I haven’t had time to write. Figures…just when I pull the book back out – life gets crazy! I am officially going through withdrawals! Not just from writing but from working out. Yep, it only took 4 days and the neck twitching, bad mood, irritation, hallucinating withdrawals have begun!
If it tells you anything, I am using my lunch break to write this post, because I JUST CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!
I didn’t think I would ever feel this way about either one – writing or working out! But I am there – I am at the point where I have realized that the act of taking a small amount of time to work-out and write everyday helps keep me sane. A few moments where it is ALL ABOUT ME!
By the way – our first 5k for Habitat for Humanity this past Saturday was awesome! I don’t know what our times were (or not going to write them…;-)) but we finished! I wasn’t expecting to push Doodlebug, but the Hubby had to work, so I figured – what they hay! Here is a picture of the starting line:

After trouble with the very expensive jogging stroller that I own, here I am watching everyone else run.
The Marines were there running together in cadence – WAY COOL! Okay, it was not operator error people! As soon as we were told to start, I took off running. Suddenly, the front wheel started acting like it was going to fall off! (You know like that one wheel on a grocery basket that wobbles and makes everything vibrate and rough!?) My stroller was doing that! Doodlebug is yelling at me to “stop it mommy!” Fortunately the wheel would only act up when I ran – so I had to walk! WHATEVER! I’m not making this up – ask two of the gentlemen that stopped to ask me if everything was okay! Maybe it was the Universe trying to tell me to slow down and enjoy our first 5k instead of trying to keep up with everyone else…WHAT? I’m telling the truth!
It was a great day!
This morning I was able to get up early and workout at home. It's nice to know that all that money we spent on our treadmill was "not for nothing"...
We had a blast! Our next 5k is the American Diabetes Association Run on October 16th!
I'm still having trouble finding the time to meditate and visualize. I'm at the point where I will probably have to pull into a grocery store parking lot for a few minutes, because it seems that the only time I have to myself is between the dropping off and picking up the kiddos and going to and leaving work!
What has the Universe been telling you lately?
(Ted I know you are (and I quote) "really impressed", so I put 2 d's in kiddos JUST FOR YOU!) ;-)
Yes, yes they are that big!
