I'm filled with worry since Daughter started high schooland sadness from the infrequent sightings of Son now that he drives to his before/after school events and part-time job
and joy in seeing them both help out in the childrens area at church.
I've felt disappointment when I dropped back during a group run and watched them disappear off on the horizon
and surprise when the running group leader showed up at my side so I wouldn't get lost.
and acceptance when they waited, cheered, and gave high fives when I finished.
I've experienced excitement after holding plank for 40 secs
and frustration only to fail at 20 secs the next time
and hatred toward those stinkin' push-ups.
I'm filled with enthusiasm in pursuit of a PR at the Duke City Half marathon
and apprehension toward other upcoming races that probably won't go so well
and contentment with my decision to drop out of the oly tri.
Ever have one of those days?
Yep - sounds like you're livin!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about your training for the Duke City half...I think you are going to surpise yourself :)
Every day! :)
ReplyDeleteYes i have days like that practically every single day! Some days i really crave just to be...in the moment and not feel so much! Never happens so i roll with it the best i can!!
ReplyDeleteDuke City half!! See, i'm only up to a 10K (hopefully) you have so much to be proud of my friend!!
Some days are like that. Love the new blog look!
ReplyDeleteAll the time - damn frustrating!!!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! Definitely.
ReplyDeleteLike today -- proud of my longest ride ever. Yet disappointed with how slow I am.
So hard not to let the downs get in there and have their say isn't it.
I agree with Cindy -- I think you'll surprise yourself at the Duke City Half.
Yes.
ReplyDeletebtw-My son starts high school on 8/25. It's harder than I thought it was going to be.
That sounds like my every week!
ReplyDeleteYesterday was my longest run ever...18.5 miles. Which hurt! Yesterday I hated it, today I was proud of having finished it.
Heck yeah. Just try to spend more time/energy focusing on the good stuff.
ReplyDeleteOh yest the ups and down of life. It happens to all of us
ReplyDeleteI think we have all been there... lif comes at you fast!
ReplyDeleteEm
It comes and goes doesn't it? You said it well.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, sounds very familiar. Good luck with the half. Sounds like your run with a really nice group!
ReplyDeleteBlimey that was a bit of a day!!!
ReplyDeleteLike the new blog style by the way - you probably did it ages ago but I only just noticed!!
Oh, yes! One of those days that has the head rolling. Ups and down all day long. But you know, reading your blog, I think you are a strong woman mentally and physically, and ready to handle it all :-)
ReplyDelete*sigh* I hear you Lisa. Although I won't have to worry about the kiddie thing for awhile. I'll probably have to be confined to a mental institution when they start driving. GAH!
ReplyDeleteStop it! I gave up alcohol ;-) Yes, yes, and yes! But life goes on... Time is like that.
ReplyDeleteHang in there! It sounds like you have much to celebrate. :)
ReplyDeleteThe physical goals and performances are always rollercoaster-like. There are just too many variables for our bodies to be super consistent - even the elite athletes experience those. You're doing great, really!!!!
nice post.... very introspecitve....
ReplyDeleteand about your previous post... i hear the foam roller is fantastic....the bride just bought one to use with some clients....
note to jt. be afraid...be very afraid.
Oh yesss....I most certainly have days like that
ReplyDeleteIt has been one of those months. I like the new look of the blog. And those plank times are really great!
ReplyDeleteTake Care
Yes, every day especially with the baby in the picture. :)
ReplyDeleteCindy already commented my comment. I was chicked in the comments.
ReplyDeleteOh boy have I ever had one of those days!
ReplyDeleteThe blog looks great!
Ys, I have!
ReplyDeleteFoam rollers are the BEST, in an awful sort of way
All the time, Sweetie. All the time. Alcohol helps. :D just kidding. At least you can see it and voice it and move on. Kindergarten starts tomorrow. There's always milestones and always worry no matter how old they are. :d You're a great mom. Rejoice in that. ;)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun to be human??
ReplyDeleteEvery day is different and that is the blessing....
