Everything has been leading up to this point! Okay, a bit dramatic, but it serves its point. I made my goal about 80 days ago and about a week ago I smashed it. The 177 came and went. More importantly, I made a goal to get fit and push myself to my own limits. Around mid-March, I ran a 5k, getting a great time of less than 25.5 minutes. Since then I have been training for my first ever 10k. Well the time has come. I worked hard for it and last week even got 22 miles in. The nerves are building, it is a mixture of excitement and a touch of fear. My goal is running within one hour and no breaking for a walk. I put the work in and know what my body can do. Now it is all mental, I can do this and will kick some ass doing it. May look ugly, but it will get done.
Beyond that, I have had one hell of a past three and a half months at work. Tax season was a bitch this year and I look forward to Brownie Day. Everyone loves brownies, and it just so happens to be the same day taxes are due. There were weeks I did not think I would make it. I knew a co-worker or two would join me in the nut house. However, we made it, just have to get through Monday. Tuesday will bring brighter skies.
Well not really, though the warmth seems to be coming for a short visit, rain will join it. This is exciting though because much like the milestone of the 10k or the end of another tax season, Spring will begin to creep its way in. Things are really about to change. The rain will finally wash the remnants of winter away and with the heat the world around will begin to transform into new beginnings. Excuse my ramblings, the nerves are really kicking in for the morning. Let's get this started! To the next step!
