I’ve said it before but I’m having too much god dam fun to think about quitting right now.  12 days to my first 14k race. 3 days til the new baby. 2 months since my daughter came out of her shell so to speak (those who know me know what I mean) and my son is smarter at 6 than i was at 13 I’m sure of it!

I’m leading my department professionally and seem to be the center of my own universe. I’ve learned so much from this journey and this site about giving back. I always thought that bodybuilding was a vain pursuit and it still can be if you make it one but to do it, then to teach it, then to inspire others to do it and getting the same joy from teaching as doing - you can’t help but think that this spot, right now, is a pretty nice place to be.

Knee is loads better so I feel like I’ve learned a lot about filling space with positive action and not just action.  I didn’t run for 2 weeks but I’m still as fit on my last 10 k as I was 2 weeks ago.  Continuining to bash it up was not the way to go so patience and nurturing of my spirit is just as important as nurturing my muscles.

Peace

Who loves a fat wet rainy run?  You’ve go to love it!

Knees still kind of sore from ligament damage last week but the week rest has been great. Still pretty fit plus joined a new running group and that helped. Still excited about City2Surf coming up in 2 weeks but even more excited about my trip to the hospital to extract a new baby girl next Friday.  Yay for us!

How in the hell would life get any better, can someone please tell me?
