Pushing toward my goals is proving harder every day. The hurdles that life is throwing up in front of me at every turn seem discouraging but I can't help but wonder if they really are a discouragement?
The fact is the restlessness I've been feeling professionally may grow into the best decisions of my life, and I find that SO exciting and nerve wracking at the very same time. This along with some personal matters are creating a wee bit o stress in my life.
So this morning I took it to the street. I had a crappy run, and maybe that's because I was distracted by all the thoughts in my head. I ran 3km in nearly 30 min...VERY SLOW even for me. But at the end of it I felt better, stronger and smarter. During that 30 minutes of 'me' time I focused on the things I can fix. The things that need fixing but that I have no ability to fix. And the things that were TRULY important to me.
My perspective is changing. My steps toward my goal of running a 10km run on May 27, which leads to the QCM 1/2 marathon this fall, are a little closer all because I stepped out that front door this morning.
The restlessness continues, but at least I am a step closer to realizing my dreams.
