Oh, look something shiny!

I realize this blog is something of a rambling, going nowhere, kind of waste of time. But for me it's cathartic.

So, this week I continue with my training for a race in Texas. I leave in 15 days. I'm not sure that's quite enough time to undo years of not working out enough. Ran my 5k today, did interval workout(kicked my butt and REALLY showed me how out of shape I was), and of course my yoga for runners workout to stretch my short little muscles. I am also starting a new dietary plan in which I eat more snacks in between meals.

So that means I have to go to the grocery store, since I can not find Cheez-it's anywhere on this plan. I also have to fill out my application and order my transcripts because I am finally going back to school. I also have started making items to sell on Etsy.

You see this race was about way more than whether or not I can run 3.2 miles. I know I can do that. There are a lot of things in my life that I have been putting off. So I guess this blog is really about whether or not I can make the changes I need to.

Hmmmm, if nothing else. It gives me a place to keep track of successes and failures. I live in a town where I know absolutely no one, I have no family except for my kids, and I don't like to call and burden my friends with my woes. So this is it. The place where I can tell the ether what is adding to my deep bouts of depression and what I have finally decided to do about it.

If I am the only one on this journey, that's OK, it's my journey after all.
