Hmmm...
Would you like to follow my monkey mind with me...
The Olympics. I love love love the Olympics. If watching the Olympics were an Olympic event, I would win at least a bronze metal. While watching, I saw this guy:
Oscar Pistorius, a double amputee, ran the 400 meters in the Olympics. Amazing. Motivating. Inspiring. After witnessing Olympic history, I decided to start running again. Some friends and I want to run in the Color Run in November, but this girl, and my muffin top, is out of shape. But, for the most part, if I put my mind to something, I accomplish it. It's about setting myself goals and "check points" to reach a final goal. I found this app, Couch to 5K, that gives me a manageable program, with baby (running) steps. I'm on day 2.
A new car. Speaking of putting my mind to something, I got a new car a few weeks ago. A 2012 Chevy Sonic. On my own. The first time ever that I bought a brand new car completely on my own. It is an awesome feeling. It's a small car, but it's perfect for me and Piper. And it has hands-free calling. And a remote start. The car I traded in was a car my ex and I purchased together about a month before he started having his affair (or so I think. Could've been longer). The car was used. Out of warranty. And little things kept going wrong. And I got fed up. I felt like it was the last material object connecting me to my ex, so I was ready to get rid of it.
Stay tuned for more ramblings...
good for you! i've heard lots of good things about the C25K program. i need to get back into running again.....it's hard to start up again. well, it might also have just a tiny bit to do with the near 100 degree temps....maybe.
