Getting Healthy….again
I have a 10 mile race in September so I officially started training! Last night I did a 4 mile run with my dogs and I felt amazing when I was done. It was like I ran off all the stress from the work day. It was a really hard run because I ran a lot faster than normal but totally worth it. I ate a good healthy dinner and went to bed feeling strong and peaceful.
In the fall I have 2 other races I would like to do so I have to kick it into gear. I’ve started eating healthy again and amped up my runs. Next week I’m going to start incorporating strength training and yoga into my workout plan in addition to my runs. Here’s to a healthier, happier, more fit me <3

"I take off my hands and I give them to you but you don’t
want them, so I take them back
and put them on the wrong way, the wrong wrists. The yard is dark,
the tomatoes are next to the whitewashed wall,
the book on the table is about Spain,
the windows are painted shut.
Tonight you’re thinking of cities under crowns
of snow and I stare at you like I’m looking through a window,
counting birds.
You wanted happiness, I can’t blame you for that,
and maybe a mouth sounds idiotic when it blathers on about joy
but tell me
you love this, tell me you’re not miserable.
You do the math, you expect the trouble.
The seaside town. The electric fence.
Draw a circle with a piece of chalk. Imagine standing in a constant cone
of light. Imagine surrender. Imagine being useless.
A stone on the path means the tea’s not ready,
a stone in the hand means somebody’s angry, the stone inside you still
hasn’t hit bottom."
