So funny thing…. Last night I was actually sitting down to write this blog about all the bumps in the road we have had lately, and then my light went off in my office, AND the internet went down…. another bump!!   I put it off until today.

So I’m about 3.5 weeks away from my half marathon!  Time has gone so fast!  Training has been good, not great.   I’m ok with my times, and my progress, considering I did just have a baby and all.   But last week Gracie was sick, so I had to skip a day, then this week I’m sick, so I have not been running in like 7 days!    Yikes!   Here is the best part lol…. so I took a sick day from work yesterday, I was all pumped to get my rest and kick this cold.   THEN my husband came home from his night shift sicker than me!  He stole my thunder, he stole my sick day!   What the heck, I can’t even get my OWN sick time around here lol.    But today I’m feeling a little better, and I’m hoping I can run again by the weekend when I run in the CHKD LOVE RUN.    Check out the link and you should come too!

So I’m not as fast as I wanna be yet, but I’m making progress.   I still need new shoes… getting out to the store seems to be near impossible lately.   I’m pretty sure I said I was gonna get new shoes a month ago…. well hello mommy-hood!

As far as life, balancing full-time job, baby, husband, and my business I have good days and crazy days.      Lately seems like way more on the crazy side.   But Gracie has been SOOOO much fun how can I get mad about it?   She has been in the best mood while mommy and daddy have been sick.   She’s actually in the office with me now making me laugh and smile, and interrupting me horribly at the same time.

On the hard days, after whatever the bump was that day, I just try to keep perspective.   I’m lucky that my husband supports me being so busy.  I’m lucky that I get to work with some pretty awesome kids everyday, and pretty awesome grown ups too.   No matter how stressful things get, tomorrow is a new day!   And my legs get a little faster tomorrow too 🙂

I know that I’m always positive, and I never complain publicly….This is NOT because I’m a superhuman, this is only because I feel like negative energy is contagious.  I have hard-hard days just like everyone else.   But attitude is everything and I totally “fake it till I make it” on the hard days, and funny how that can actually help you stay focused!    Did this blog post even make sense? Because I probably won’t proof-read….. it is that kinda week <3
