Waiting….It can be a challenge sometimes.  I try to wait- get impatient and work on PATIENCE again.  That saying, “patience is a virtue” is accurate and rings true for me today. 

I have been waiting for my new blog site to get done…and as a result get to practice patience for over one month now….I also find I don’t write in my blog as much…just waiting for it to get done, and then I’ll start writing again.

Well, I think I better just start blogging.  I miss it.  It’s helpful to share my experiences that I go through physically as well as emotionally and mentally.  Getting in down on “paper” helps me reflect and learn. 

There are struggles sometimes.  Mainly lately it seems I am cutting my workouts short.  I don’t necessarily start the workout w/the intention of making it short.  I just want it to get over. 

I’ve also been struggling with some left leg pain.  It was bad about two weeks ago.  Bad enough I wasn’t sleeping.  Then I remembered my friend Janet used a bodyworker when she was training for Kona that she raved about.  I called Janet- got the number- and promptly had 5 visits with Alison in 7 days!  The miracle of it all is it WORKED!  I am feeling much, much better.  Alison does a technique call Muscle Activation Therapy (MAT).  I have found in the two weeks I’ve been working with her my running form has changed and I can sleep through the night!  Yeah!

COMMITMENT.  My commitment for June is to finish every workout as written!  Ok- it’s out there now for you all to read.  I am accountable now to someone other than myself.      I must complete all my workouts as written.  No shorting or blowing something off!!!!!

A second commitment I have for June is for 6 days a week eat unprocessed food.  I say 6 days a week because I want my tortilla chips at least once a week….I have to give myself some reward for all this training.  It just doesn’t work to reward myself 7 days a week……

So-                                                                                                                                                        1.  Complete all workouts as written

2. Eat only unprocessed food 6 days per week

I’m in and committed…and it’s written here….My words for today- patience and commitment.  They’re both good things for me to keep working on  :)
