I think that's how the saying goes or it's something like that. But in all honesty if the doors keep closing I'm going to have to start breaking them down and kicking in some faces! Seriously could things not be more doom and gloom these days? My father is currently out of work, my sister's husband just got laid off after they bought a new home and I'm going to be out of a place to live in less than a year. Life could be worse... granted... and I guess bad things happen in threes, but it just keeps piling up.
On a happier note... I completed my second full marathon on July 25th in San Francisco. I had a goal of four hours and thirty minutes and finished in 4.28! It was such an amazing day and I felt so overjoyed to have reached my goal. I was so inspired that I registered for the Long Beach International Marathon which takes place on October 17th. I took two weeks off after the race and just went back to the gym last night. I didn't want to... Oh lord I did not want to, but i did and I feel so much better for it. I ran 3 miles at an average pace of 9.20 minutes per mile. That's about a minute off my pace that I ran the San Francisco marathon with and I am hoping to get it down even more! It takes a lot of conviction and dedication to accomplish that and I'm pushing myself through it... dragging more like it.
I was supposed to have stared a new routine this week, but with all the going ons as of late i was unable to accomplish that. In times of chaos order is needed and found to be a great relief to some. Honestly, I think I function better when I know that something is slipping or that my deadline is quickly approaching. Like - Dani - get off your ass and get to it! The job gets done and I worry so much about it being good that I over do it and end up rocking what ever it is I'm working on... That applied to when I was in school... Now... not so much.
