Warp Speed

Crazy how life can be. I feel like I have been running full speed. I can only imagine how others go through life. Get up to get ready for work, pack any where from one to seven lunches and start delivering one to four children to school and then work. Deal with people who for the most part don't want to be where they are. Come home to make a decent meal for one to seven starving people or head them all off to the gym and work out the body. Only to come home and still feed the pack. Then try to get a head of the next day with anything that I can to make the morning go smoother. Crazy at times.

Looking forward to a less crazy weekend. No wrestling in sight. Only the first race of the season and the kids are excited. It is suppose to be a nice day, in the 50 's. I have been training for this. I have now had 5 sessions with my trainer and I feel the difference. I am going to run 5 today and only do weight training tomorrow and he promised no legs except stretching. He killed the legs last week. He is a runner too so I am fortunate. I feel the body changing but the weight does not seem to want to leave yet. All in time I hope. Started cutting back this week to see if that was it. But haven't been on the scale yet. Feeling good for the effort though.

Went out for St pat last night, only had one drink and left them all for I needed to run a couple times this week and it was Thursday and I haven't gotten one in yet. They understood that I have been working hard to get to this race and 8k have not been on my list much in the past. They were gracious to let me go. It felt good to run in 68 degree weather and shorts. I miss that. I can not wait until I can get out on the road before 6 am and get my run in before the day starts. I feel like I have more free time to do whatever the day call for. It is coming and I will get out there at least 4x a week. I am committed. Carson is going to run with me today. I am looking forward to that. He is starting to slim down and I think even grow. That makes him happy.
All in all, life is good and I have God to thank!
