Still Not Feeling It!

I ran today.. Short and sweet, but it took me all day to get out and run. I kinda know why I am feeling this way. Partly because I feel I should be doing about 20 other things and not working out... You know sometimes you hold on to the past and it controls your future and that is what I am doing -----> Working on moving forward.....

Swimming again...

Today I decide I needed to get back in the water, as we headed to Simpkin's pool, I was not looking forward to the cold gray sky hanging around above.  Don't get me wrong once I am in the pool I enjoy swimming, it getting in that I dislike so much. It was a bit crazy getting out of the house, but we made it and down the street, we went when I asked, did anyone grabs towels? So the bf wiped the car around and back home we went. Let's try this again. Gray sky's just not feeling it, as we approached the pool. I was busy checking into foursquare and didn't notice the half-empty parking lot. Chris asked a woman walking what was going on, she said the pool was closed because something or another was broke and would not be fixed for a few days. My first thought was yay we get to go to UCSC and swim! I love that pool it is just a bit warmer than Simpkins and so off we went. I came out of the locker room ready to swim, as I put my foot in the water, and just as I thought it was warm. My son had no reservation he jumped in and started swimming. I was still messing around with putting both feet in the water and fixing my ear plugs..(grrr) I need new ones, the ear plugs that were my favorite I lost and so I have to use the ones I really don't like they never stay in my ears. First part of the swim was hard, but seem to get a bit easier as it went on. Even with the gray sky's I still really enjoyed the swim partly because my son, and I was sharing a lane and every few laps he would ask if I wanted to race. He always make swimming fun...

Taking my own advice..

When people ask me how to get started in running, the best advice, I can give them is baby steps. Get out the door and just go. I took my own advice, and I talked myself into doing a 1-mile run. I have not had the drive to run, and I wasn't sure what was going on with me... As I pushed myself out of the door, that familiar feeling was creeping in, you know the feeling you get when a run feels good you wonder why you stopped. As I started down the hill, I was tempted to stop and turn around so I didn't have to run back up the hill, but I kept going to finish out my run. I got home feeling good and ready to do it again...

Back on the road!

Running is something I love to do, but sometimes it takes more than it should have to get out the door... I have not run in a couple of weeks. It seems I am allowing everything from the kids to the laundry to get in my way. So now it's time to get back to what I love.
