Back on the Wagon

I have decided...I am really really bad at this.  :-)

I had a nice chat with Tiffany, though, the other day and we both agreed that this really is the only way that types like us can hold ourselves accountable.  I have two months and I really REALLY need to get going.  I was lucky last year with my last 1/2 marathon.  I don't want to be lucky this year...I want to be ready.

Lots going on in my life...school, work, trying to be a wife, trying to be a part-time mother when the kids are here, and TRYING to enjoy life (just a little).  I have done especially good with my grades in school at the expense of everything else, and I wish I had the same discipline with running as I did with school.  I guess my outlook is that school is only temporary and I know that I will be able to devote all my time to things like that when I am done...because honestly, what else will I have? :-)

I hope that you stick around...I PROMISE I will really try and make this work this time.  I need this...and I need you, my friends and family, with the support and encouragement that you have always shown.  I love each and every one of you so much.

So...here it goes!

Much love | Livie

sounds like you need today's quote from RW:

"So much in life seems inflexible and unchangeable, and part of the joy of running and especially racing is the realization that improvement and progress can be achieved.-Nancy Anderson"
