I can always count on you for all those things :)<br /><br />Nancy - Thanks for taking the time to comment here. I'm totally gonna think up some sort of virtual accountability thing we can do. That would be perfect!<br /><br />Lesley - I just love you. And I've been keeping up with all of your races and I think you are nothing short of awesome! That 30 week plan on my wall ends on November 18th.

I have been telling myself for months I was going to get off the couch and get moving and haven't done anything about it but dream.<br /><br />I would love to someday do my own half-marathon. I know I would finish towards the back of the pack, but finishing is what is important to me.Nancy-your friend in Iowanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663276549275041223.post-63780598575200183592012-04-29T11:33:21.663-05:002012-04-29T11:33:21.663-05:00Chop Chop!

Don't make me come there and kick your butt!<br /><br />Life is about Attitude, and while it can be so much easier to stick your head in the sand and ignore what bothers you, you know you won't be happier when you finally take a good, honest look around at where you are. It may be ugly some days, it may be horrendously painful, but acceptance of the present is the first step. <br /><br />Here is where you are - don't label it square one - that is a defeatist phrase that mocks you when you need support and motivation to move forward. I'd call it X marks the Spot - there are many directions you can go from that spot - including backwards - if you choose to. <br /><br />And it is indeed about choices - you've chosen your family first - no shame or harm in that - but you have also chosen NOT to move yourself forward at the same time. Admit it, accept it, use it to move you, then let it go. Your family and friends need YOU to be healthy and happy, mind and body and spirit, in order that they (and you) get the best of you. So take a step, even a baby step, today in the direction that is going to help you, going to nourish you and allow that step to be with you, stay with you - however small - and then take another when you're ready. Don't force it, or analyze it too much, or beat yourself up about the past. Just move forward.<br /><br />C'mon, we'll hold your hand, or kick your butt if you're going to be stubborn about it - but we won't let you down. Love ya!reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890725857316625924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663276549275041223.post-90992043866187769072012-04-22T09:36:37.895-05:002012-04-22T09:36:37.895-05:00Ronda - You have been so inspiring.

I really need to catch up on your blog to read all those race reports. One of these days we will end up at the same race together and I can't wait :) Thanks for stopping over to say hi!<br /><br />Laura - Thanks so much for your message. My friends on TGM have been pretty amazing through all of this. And you are right about needing to be healthy. All the stress has led to some pretty destructive behavior and I know that needs to change. I own it. And as soon as I can start thinking further ahead than the next 24 hours, I will get a race on the books :)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11777621579119303890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663276549275041223.post-59629473879586951962012-04-21T20:45:35.926-05:002012-04-21T20:45:35.926-05:00You will always be one of the cool kids, whether y...You will always be one of the cool kids, whether you are running or not. Others are sidelined by injury, time pressures, etc. Don't worry about that. But you do need to be healthy - so do what you can to get there. You know we are hear for you. And heck, sign up for a race out there in the future (January maybe?). I've had to ditch two races that I signed up for recently due to schedule issues but they were local and not too expensive, but I'm committed to one of those travel-related Mouse races and that helps keep me going.Laura from TGMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663276549275041223.post-8921389462515084112012-04-21T16:48:45.734-05:002012-04-21T16:48:45.734-05:00Well welcome back to blog world!

But it always feels good to come back.<br /><br />Good luck with your starting over.
