The past six months have created a big shift for me. If you've read my previous entrys, you've read about some of the limiting beliefs I had and how I'm moving beyond them. This summer was more about exercising for a race. It allowed me to see myself differently.
I am one of the fast girls- at least I can be, if I do the work. And training for races instead of exercising to manage my weight has been liberating and much more fun.
I certainly like the racing and training. But can I fit it in with family and other priorities? Well, my answer is yes.
A very wise person told me that by blogging about my experience, I am putting myself out there. Making my journey and goals known will help me stay committed to them and enable me to see them through. So here you go- nothing flashy, just putting myself out there.
This fall I'm increasing my endurance through longer running distances. I've adopted some of the recommendations from reading Chi Running, which have been very helpful. My runs are more relaxed, yet I'm going longer and faster. Not a bad combination.
I'm not getting out on my bike as much a I'd like to, and I know I will need to address that in the spring more.
I've also been able to get to a bootcamp class 1x/week and bought a new fitness DVD- both of which kick my butt. Feels good to have some sore muscles and know I'm getting stronger.
So that's it for now- a quick synopsis on the past few months. But I'll be posting again in another week or so.
