As Nike says JUST DO IT! I DID IT!!! The Boston Run to Remember 2011. This was my first Half Marathon.I thought I did pretty well for my first time and considering the humidity was horrible. I was proud of myself not for the time of my race but the TIME I gave to myself 3 times a week as I trained. I set a goal for myself and FOLLOWED THROUGH!
I set goals all the time and am successful. These goals consist of setting up the agenda for the Daisy meeting, making sure Elise is reading X amount of hours a week, and tackling all the clutter in the
office. When I make a goal for myself like reading or organizing my photos if something comes up it's always pushed aside. When I signed up for the Half Marathon I set up my training so I would have no excuses. I ran before the girls got up. The weekend runs were done before activities or Birthday Parties. If the weather was too severe I had a treadmill in my basement.
I never thought I would enjoy running
especially starting my training in the winter. Running has been life changing for me though.Moms NEED to get out there and exercise whether it's running, yoga or walking the dog. We need those 'Happy Hormones' to be better mothers, wives, and friends. I also feel like I'm setting a good example for my girls. Taking care of yourself both physically and emotionally is important.
I love this clip from Legally Blond and it's true Endorphins make people happy:)
