Running Total

So I figured I should post an update about the running situation. I have been a big slacker about, well, just about everything since we got here. mostly I blame it on adjusting to living in a new place, and reconnecting with old friends who I have been missing terribly.

I am reminded every day how blessed I am to have such great friends.

I think I was stuck in a little funk. Not really sure exactly where I wanted to be more... Back in CA, or here in UT. Now I feel like here is where o am supposed to be, so that helps.

Well, I finally did things that I kept telling myself I would do, like setting up the running swap with a friend (we talked about it a few weeks ago, but I never followed through... Story of my life).

So now I have a running partner, I take my kids to story time, and I sent off my application for ARL. This week my main goal (besides running again) is getting letters of recommendation from old employers.

I really am feeling motivation and purpose.

I heard a quote from one of the brethren a while ago that went something like this:

"When the why is strong enough, the how will take care of itself."

I believe that.

My why is getting more defined in my head, so the "how's" are coming along a lot better.

Thanks for all the concerned comments! I love to have a sounding board for some of my emotions. Your encouragement has really helped.

So far I have run 3 miles this week. My goal right now is just to be consistent at 9 miles a week, running 3 miles, 3x's a week. So far, I'm on target to reach my goal! Thanks to all my great encouraging friends.

I'm trying to have more faith. It's a work in progress!
