On one month from today, I will run my next half marathon, and mark another milestone in my life. Deciding to run this race happened by chance; circumstances simply fell into place. I am glad they did because my training is transforming me again.
As it ends up, this race, just like my marathon, also will mark another milestone. I ran Boston to celebrate my 35th birthday. I will run this race the day after my 10th wedding anniversary. I am grateful to reach this significant anniversary with my second husband, the father of my Son, and my partner. I am also grateful that I will be honoring this anniversary by running to a happier and healthier me.
I am training for my half marathon with SmartCoach. This is a new approach, and it is working out so well! I feel stronger in my running, and I feel better able to deal with the craziness that is my life as a Mom with a full-time job, and tons of obligations and interests. Accomplishing a day's scheduled run makes me feel like I can accomplish so much more in other parts of my life. I am more productive and have more energy. I am prioritizing; what's ending up on the top of the list matters, and, well, everything else....
