With the absolutely brilliant sun-shiny days we’ve been having the price to be paid is really cold morning, and today was no exception. And I did get up and walk FD#1; I am the perfect pet owner!! The other price is that it is still freezing cold when I zip off on Pepe to work! I truly am not always this happy, and I’m not writing this blog to make it seem like I never have a bad day. Truth is I do, but the reality lately for me is that I am feeling really happy with my life. I know this Death Race idea all came out of feeling a little lost for purpose, but in feeling lost I wasn’t unhappy. Now I have direction and it just seems to make me smile more. The petty things in the day, just don’t seem to matter much at the moment, and I m just content to experience this for a little longer. I am sure my posts will have dark moments...as long as you promise not to tell anyone!
When I got home from work I didn’t really feel like running. I just wanted to jump in my PJ’s and sit. But I remember reading, in one of the books I’ve read recently, that if you don’t feel like running, just put your running clothes on and perhaps inspiration will hit! I knew I’d run though because (even though I pike out on walking FD#1 quite a bit) I do have a pretty good work ethic once I choose to. When I’m running and I feel like stopping, or cutting the run short, I just tell myself that finishing early is just a choice, so I choose not to make it. (This works only when your body is healthy, I don’t advocate running on a “broken body”). Tonight’s run was an easy 40 minute recovery run, which turned into 45 minutes by the time I got home. Nice and easy, cruisey.
My name is Karen. I am a 43yo single mum of two awesome teenagers...no truly, they are. In my search (of late) for a bit of direction in my life, I have set myself a goal of competing in the Canadian Death Race in late July 2011. In my quest to do the improbable, I also want to raise funds for the Lung Foundation of Australia in honour of the memory of my mum, Kerry. I hope that you enjoy following my progress, and are able to contribute to a worthy cause!!
