Resolutions

[#1]

Hello mid-year, what were those resolutions anyway? Aside from the running I had to go back and look at my posts to see what I had committed to, so, I am not surprised that I’ve let go of most of them – thank goodness for the blog to keep me on track! Even the running got off to a slow start with a sprained ankle followed by a broken treadmill. I was able to get one race in the first week of June so I’ll be close on that one for the year but not likely to hit four half-marathons like I had hoped. The books - I’ve had zero time to read, I’m hoping to slow down a bit next month as we wind down summer so maybe I can squeeze a book in. And eating better – that I’ve realized is completely tied to my running which impacts my energy and eating. If I’m tired or sluggish the first thing I reach for is a snack. Much easier to ignore the impulse if I’ve run that day, just clears all the cobwebs out and my body wants real, healthy food. As one of my former colleagues said, “running is the glue that holds it all together” – she couldn’t have been more right! Here’s a fun poll:

Where are you on your resolutions?

• I’m all over them, right where I want to be
• Getting there, not quite where I want to be
• Resolution, smesolution, who has time for resolutions?
