Setting Goals

Filed under: Health/ Fitness — gardener @ 7:05 am

Now that I’m back on a regular work-out routine, I’ve been thinking about how I’d really like to kick things up a notch and start (once again) a running program. I’d love to run a 5k when I’m home this year- and since I get so easily distracted while running and lose my focus- I’m thinking that a ipod touch nano would be perfect. I could listen to music while running and it would give me something else to focus on other than hearing my breathing and realizing just how out of breath I’m getting. It’s a big hurdle- because right now I can’t even imagine running 5k, but it’s one that is doable if I do the work.

Absent?

I know- it seems like I’ve just fallen off the planet and gone MIA- but really nothing could be further from the truth. My ‘online’ presence may be a little scarce at the moment, but I have been spending time up front and present in my ‘offline’ life. Much has been going on and in between social gatherings and cupcake orders, I’ve also been spending time daily getting back into the fitness groove.

It took me a long time to finally have that ‘ah ha’ moment and break through what was holding me back- but it happened and I’m kicking bootay and taking names along the way.

Life is good. Oh and before you think I’ve given up the ghost on being ‘grateful’- I haven’t at all. I’ve been sharing daily on Facebook, but I do need to be more diligent about sharing here.

Weird Weather

We’ve been having what I consider to be one of the wierdest summers that I can remember. One day (like today) it’s gorgeous and sunny out and the next it’s raining and in the low 50’s.. It’s been like a yo-yo for weeks now. I told Marcel last week that you know something’s wrong when you need an electric fireplace in the middle of June. What’s weather like in your corner of the world?
