work in progress

This is a collage I am working on. Other things I am working on right now:

my parenting skills

my triceps

my time management

my unorganized closet

and my addiction to carbonation

Looking at my list...I may just focus on the collage, as it's the only one I could actually check-off as completed by the end of the day.

I am a work in progress.

i can do hard things

I said this to myself every time my alarm went off at 5:30am. I said this to myself every Saturday morning long run. I said this to myself every time my shins and ankles ached from running more than any 33 year old mommy of four ever should. I said this to myself non-stop for the last three miles of the 13.1 mile race.

I can do hard things.

PS: dear running friends,

i look forward to seeing your sleepy, "why are we doing this" faces again real soon. i think i hear my running shoes calling to me.
