What’s up Goal Crushers!
I hope you that you had a happy and safe New Years. For most of us, the New Year signifies a fresh start. I personal believe that you don’t have to wait to the new year to start over. In my eyes, every day is a chance to do right, to go after your goals, to change your life, or to be great. Don’t let the Monday/New Year mentality hold you back from being the greatest you that you can be…
I have not been around for a while so thought I would check in and let you know what is going on with me.
This past week I had to make a very tough decision and that was to withdraw from the 2015 Brigham and Women’s Hospital Boston Marathon Team. It was a hard decision and I’m kicking myself for it because It’s one my dreams to run the Boston but I don’t think 2015 was the year for me to run it, so it’s now a dream deferred.
I had my reasons though… 2 car accidents; one in January another in October and now this mystery stomach pain that haven’t been resolved. It’s safe to say that I had a rough 2014. Even though I felt like I made the right decision by withdrawing, a part of me feels guilty. As if I should have had more faith in the situation and myself that things are going to work out. Have you ever felt like that?
Besides being stagnant with my fitness and running injured, my 2014 wasn’t all that bad. I received a master’s degree, I bought a house, and I officially started my public speaking business. Those are great milestones so I really can’t complain… That much 😉
As far as this blog is concerned, I’m struggling with posting on a consistent basis… It was something that I was good at doing but now it’s like pulling teeth. I feel like I don’t have much to say if I’m not actually running. Many of my family and friends told me to write about how much it sucks being injured but I’m not the complaining type. So I just go through the motions… I know I said that I was going to do better but my actions haven’t proved it yet. So I joined a writing group and hopefully it will spark my interest for writing again… I think it’s what I need to get the ball rolling…
I know I’m a work in progress and I want to thank all you for your support. Whether it’s a comment, a message on Facebook or a tweet I appreciate all your love and patience as I try to work through some of this stuff. I’m taking it a day at a time that’s all I can do right about now.
I’ll talk to you guys soon
