Challenging myself and creating balance

                                               Balance
In everything I do I try to find the balance . That is my word for 2018 and this is my goal. I am in a new space and I think it's called getting older and being more mature. I am taking the One little word class by Ali Edwards and it feels different to me this time. I am doing all the work and I am really getting into it. The planning and making goals for this year.
One of my goals is  I am trying to make a habit of  getting on the mat everyday. I feel I could really use it. The time to slow down and the physical part has to help with all the running. I do adore the way I feel after I go to yoga class. I am going to explore this new little challenge and hopefully learn and grow. Jack goes to yoga so he will probably be joining me.

I started the this month off with the Goal of running 30 days straight. Let me start by saying my shortest run has been 5 miles and my longest 18. I am running anywhere from a 8:30 min pace to 13 min pace. It all depends .....
So checking in on day 7. I am tired and my legs are tired but what I am struggling with is how much my brain is just not wanting to go for a run. I kinda love this because this is the challenge right ??
I am in a crappy head space and it is up to me to change that. This is my favorite part because it is going to teach me discipline and hopefully during my next ultra I will be able to tap into whatever it is that I get from this challenge. This is just a me trying to push myself to grow. Having a fit bit really helps too...
 

With Positive Attitude I move forward

Happy February- The last month flew by and I don't really feel I got a chance to start over so I am using this month as my goal setting month. I also chose my word for the year and this word chose me. I feel like I need to strive for Balance.
Balance between everything I feel I need to do and what I do.
Balance is also a great reminder for me when it comes to taking care of my body. Yoga and facials ,drinking enough water. I am trying to have a date night with my kids each one separately and trying to find a welcome balance with all the hats I wear.
This month I have set out two goals for myself. The first one is I want to try and run everyday this month. The minimum could be 2 miles but I feel like I have been putting in so many miles and I feel stronger so I would like to try and go for it. 28 days 28 runs.
The other gaol is 3 dates one with my husband and then one with Jack and one with Bella.
Then there is the creative part of me and I am working on my project life but this month I want to take a class and finish it.
I am currently Taking Ali Edwards  One little word class. I love it as I do Ali. So as I enter this month with some fun goals I will try to remember how blessed I am to be be able to run and have children and a husband who are heathy and by my side for this crazy life ride. Sending you love and Joy.
