5K.....Ready or Not!

My first 5k (3.1 miles) of this season is just around the corner....ready or not!  My body is physically ready, and I am able to push through 4 miles....but my mind is starting to second guess my physical ability.  Mind over matter....I know! 

This Saturday I'll be running in the St. Charles 5k.  I'm excited to be able to get out there in the fresh air and burn off some calories!  Finishing a race is such a huge sense of accomplishment, especially for me!  Growing up I hated to run.  My body was not built for running and just thinking about running made me tired!  I didn't even like to watch my brother run (he was the natural runner).  It was so BORING!!  As an adult, I now have the ability to look at it completely different.  It's a way for my busy mind to slow down and to put all my thoughts on pause.  It's just me, mother nature (or my treadmill), and some rockin' tunes on my iPod! 

Happy running!  (Please don't say "break a leg"......because with my luck, I will!)

Only two months??

I find it hard to believe that it has only been two months since our last failed IVF cycle!!  Technically it hasn't even been a whole two!  It feels like it has been an eternity though!  Time is just standing still but it sure doesn't feel that way!  I can't quite figure out whether or not that's a good thing or a bad thing???
