Today as I am running on low sleep with a sick little one in my arms, I am learning the true lesson of this experience. Beyond reaching the goal of running a 5k is the goal of changing my lifestyle. It is learning how to balance excercise with the daily demands of life, which sometimes can feel overwhelming. It is learning that fitting in a work out into a busy day is possible and that excuses for why you can't work out just waste time. It might not always be the rigorous work out you had planned for but getting up and doing something is better than sitting down in defeat. I am grateful for this experience and how it has made me look for this balance in my own life. A short blog today so I can fit in my work out before I run out of time.
Cheerfully,
Lori
Wow, 4 kids and you're training!?! I feel for you. I have a 2 year old and a 3 month old. We're in a little funk lately of having to get up every 2-3 hours for the 3 month old and it's definitely sapping my energy.
Great job of setting a goal. Just plug away at it and be easy on yourself. Sometimes you just have to do what you got to do to get through the day. Sounds like you already know that though.
Good Luck on your journey!
