Wow! It's already September. My goal was to start training for the October 5k that I wanted to run mid-October, however I was informed the other day that the date was changed and it now falls on a day I work. The two other runs I wanted to do also fall on days that I work. Trying to get days off at my job is awful because of all the people who have seniority over me and the fact that around the holidays it's impossible to get the time off you need. So, I have taken to bitching and complaining about my plight to anyone who will listen.
Also, in the last few weeks I have had some personal issues that I am working on trying to resolve. There isn't anyone else involved in trying to work out these personal issues because I suppose for some the best way to resolve a problem is to say goodbye. So, in dealing with that realization I would have liked to have dove head first into my running, but instead I found myself in a slump and have resorted to some half-ass cross training each time I make my presence at the gym.
After some soul searching and some deep thought about my personal situation, I have concluded that I am refusing to give anymore of my time to it. My mind will not spend another second thinking about all the things I could say and I will not allow myself to be made to feel anything other than content for how this has all played out. That being said, I will turn what anger and frustration I have into energy to burn at the gym. I will stay strong and be strong, and in that strength I will lose weight and be healthy. It's no secret that when you look better physically, you feel better mentally.
Right now the next run I have lined up is Warrior Dash on Decemeber 3rd with TGIM. I am so excited for this race. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to get the time off to run the MidPoint Madness 5k in November but the outlook isn't too good.
Tomorrow's goal...a 4 miler.
