So I have a lot of things in life I am proud of... but the most recent one for me... in which I just hit a major milestone goal in this week... is working for the last year and a half on a number of fitness and health goals ... that only have to do with me taking care of me (something a mother forgets to do over time)... and being able to check off all those goals over that time and finally coming to the point where I feel all my hard work paid off.
I have been able to work through a knee/ ankle injury that stopped me from running a few years ago, a thyroid disorder that was brought on post second baby... and a period of mental and adrenal stress... all through fitness and nutrition... and now I am medication free on all accounts, pain free, full of mounds of energy everyday, hit my lowest weight, my fittest form, and am matching what I used to run over 10 years ago this week by completing 9.5 km twice in succession now. That was my goal for the end of summer and i am there already!!!
So now I am considering turning the 10km run I wanted to do this fall into a half marathon... something I have never done before but has always been on my bucket list. But also I wonder if I push to far... will I just re-injure myself
oh, and yesterday I got a "how you doing" from a group of workers while volunteering helping set up at a local outdoor festival... I mean... they were apparently from the low security penitentiary ... but beggars can't be choosers
