Spring Fever... or Maybe Madness?!
A few months ago time was flying by and I was in a whirlwind. Now its moving so fast I'm not even sure where I am sometimes. Strangely enough, even though the early part of 2010 was kind of sucky, this part hasn't been so bad. Crazy ups and downs but mostly walking around with a positive outlook. Closing in on April makes me anxious but I'm feeling motivated. Feeling like I can manage. The top of the hill is in sight. Not there yet but feel my second wind coming. Know I'm going to make it.
I've started running again - 2 or so miles every day for the past 4 days. I haven't been running since late summer 2007 - fell off the wagon big time when I went back to the corporate world. My weight has fluctuated over the past few years, I've been under enormous stress for the past year and my lifestyle hasn't been the healthiest.
Wasn't a ground breaking epiphany or anything but I've settled into a commitment to slow down, pay attention to what I need and reset some priorities. 37 is fast approaching and I need it to happen on a positive note.
Running hurts and I don't enjoy it. I'm slow and plod along. But I suprised myself by falling back into the routine and maybe even doing better than I remember from my last adventure in running. I don't think running is ever going to be my thing but it feels like my saving grace this week.
I've mentally checked out of work for the last few days. And frankly it feels good. I've taken vacation to help Mom following her knee surgery. A topic for another post... but she's doing great. However, suffice it to say I think I was more scared and worried for her than I let myself admit. So, all in all, it feels like a few tons of weight have been lifted.
