Love Letter to Myself

Dear Cupcake,

It's officially time to get your behind in gear! I know, I know. There was snow on the ground and fallen trees and power lines- quit being a wuss will ya?! Strap on your big girl sneakers, lace em up good and tight and hit the pavement kid! You had almost a week off of your new training, you don't have time to fall behind. You need to buckle down and get serious ASAP.

I have every faith that you will find your motivation again. It's not gone for good. You've just hit a speed bump in your daily routine right now- freak snow storm, loss of power for a week or so, dangerous roads, etc etc. But, everything is getting back to normal now! And I know you've got the sniffles, but keep popping that Vitamin C and before you know it, you're gonna feel 100%!

Afterall,

"There is only one way to succeed in anything, and that is to give it everything"

- Vince Lombardi

Sincerely,

Me.

Three Things Thursday

1. My first week of training for the Princess half has been going well. I managed to do both runs without stopping!! HOLLER! I am excited for my long run on Saturday and seeing if I can push myself to do the whole run without walking. It's funny because I used to think "oh man, this is SO far to run" and now all I think is "This is nowhere near as long as what I ran for my half marathon...piece of cake!" Love the change in attitude!

2. Speaking of changes, one of the reasons I haven't had time to update this week is because I was helping my sister move out and then cleaning her old room so I can take it. (Her room was bigger so it's a total upgrade for me!) I woke up this morning to a text telling me my programs were cancelled so I figured might as well take advantage of my day off and start moving stuff, right? Well, once I get into a groove, it's hard for me to stop, so I ended up moving almost everything into my new room (with the exception of my two dressers that are currently in storage). Can't wait to get it all set and put away!! Hopefully by the end of the weekend!


3. And now, an awesome quote that I LOVE:

"If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run."
