ok, so Friday i got back on the horse and ran 20 minutes. i refused Ashleigh's offer to use the fitness room and hit the streets of North Vegas, planning my route so i would finish my run facing my favorite mountain chain. it was a tough run, and my diet lately has certainly not been in great support of any endurance action.
ran again Saturday morn and it was a bit easier, didn't seem as much of a struggle. tomorrow i will jog a trail near my mom's place in LA. it's a bit more of an off-road trail, but sounds amazing. it's not 20 degrees and snowing, as it is in Indiana, so it is all good.
fundraising not going so well, tho i haven't really done much with it. i need to finish sending letters, then do emails as well. my sister and i have talked briefly about having a night at Logan's where we donate all our tips to the fund. my manager liked the idea and said there may be a way to donate a percentage of the proceeds as well. we shall see...
i am not looking forward to heading back to Indiana. this has been an amazing and most needed rest, but nothing has been answered as i thought it might. i am still confused about my future and direction, going to school vs. moving, where to live when the lease is up in May, etc. life just seems so daily right now...
my dear Mindy has been sending me encouragement via email. i shall share some with you:
So in the past 3 weeks I've taken up running again ... not training right now, just therapuetic running as I call it. I grab my MP3 player, lace up my asics, and I go, not tracking pace or distance or anything, I just go until my heart has had it's time to recoup what it feels it has lost that day. . . Sometimes you just need to get up and go, set your heart free, and maybe not have a purpose or a reason, but just go because you can and because you believe that somehow it matters.
