Yikes, what a week this has been. Emily was out sick for most of the week, ending up at the docs for a UTI. I've had a horrible head cold and am currently in the process of losing my voice (not great for a school counselor/mom!). Top it all off, Andy is back in full-time basketball coaching mode.
But I made a goal for myself at the beginning of the week. My goal was to run 14 miles this week. This has been a goal for 3 weeks and I continue to fall short. But this week, my incentive was to use a new i-tunes purchase as my reward for completing 14 miles. Breaking it down into a 4 mile day, then two 3's, then one 4 seemed doable.
And I'm on track! Tomorrow is my last 4 miles of the week, and I sure as hell am going to do it, despite the sickness and crazy schedule. Running has been an amazing source of strength for me. If I can conquer my run, I can do anything.
A place for me to reflect on life as a mom, counselor, wife and new runner.
