Wonder Woman's Messy Life

The pace of my life is fast.  Even when nothing is going on, something is still happening.  I have 4 children, my own coaching business, and about a half dozen side jobs floating around.

I would LOVE to pretend that I am Wonder Woman.  Unfortunately, I am not.

You know the saying, “when you want something done ask the busiest person in the room.”  That busy person would be me. Although, now that I am a bit older and hopefully wiser I can say no.

I have big goals for 2014- because obviously everything else in paragraph 1 isn’t enough.   Seriously, I NEED these personal goals.   Sometimes, I think I need these goals because the stuff in my life is so overwhelming and busy. 

I am training for a 100 miler, a 50k, about a half dozen or so triathlons.  I need these things.  When I don’t exercise, I am like a Border Collie that hasn’t been walked.  It ain’t pretty folks.

It gets ugly sometimes.  On Saturday, I was determined to do my long run.  It was a bit warmer than normal, but it was pouring rain, snowy, muddy, and VERY icy. I also had an extremely hard double workout the day before.  I should’ve waited.  I could have REALLY gotten hurt.  I should’ve known better.  To be honest, I did know better.  I just wanted to do what I wanted to do.

I spent a few days recovering from the “should’ve know better run” because I blasted the stabilizer muscles in my feet, ankles, legs, and hips.  And thank you Mother Mary that I did not fall on the sheets of ice on the trails.  And I still have drama and a messy house.  It was there when I returned from the run/slide.

I guess the moral of this note, is sometimes we do stupid things even when we know better.  I am not even close to perfect.  I am just another person on this crazy journey of life.  Hang in there friends.  We get done what needs to be done.
