I will be back in training starting next week.  I have decided to run in the Tinker Bell Half Marathon in May.  I made the decision just in time to do the training method twice.  I am determined to be better prepared this time around.  Thankfully I am already in better shape than I was a year ago when I completed the Disneyland Half Marathon.  My heart is stronger and my pace is faster so I am excited to see where I will be in 38 weeks.  I am going to do 19 unofficial training weeks and then begin the Official Training schedule starting January 4^th.   The race is on May 8^th.

The Single Life-Up and Down

The past year has been up and down for me.  I have been dating again which has been good.  I didn’t realize how much I missed dating life.  It isn’t always easy and things don’t always work out like I hope but at least I am trying again.  I had given up for about 10 years because I decided that I was too old to be dating, I wasn’t feeling very good about myself and I didn’t think there was even a chance of meeting someone.  But a wise friend told me to never give up.  As you may remember from one of my former posts I talked about trying out online dating.  Since that post I have been out with 5 different men. At this time none of those have turned in to a relationship and that has been a little hard for me.  However, I have learned a lot from each of them and I am not giving up hope.  I have learned again what I am looking for in a future husband and I have also learned to love myself again.  There is a saying that says you can’t love someone else if you don’t love yourself.  There have been several times in my life where I was not happy with myself and did not love myself.  I didn’t feel beautiful or worth being with anyone.  My self-esteem was really low if almost non-existent for a time.  Little by little each of these dating experiences has changed how I feel about myself and I have learned that I am a strong, smart and beautiful woman with a lot to offer.  I don’t mean that to sound prideful or boastful but if you knew how low I felt for several years you would know how far I have come.  It just goes to show that sometimes words can hurt.  So since August of last year I have been growing and trying to improve myself and be brave in my dating life.  Right now I am currently not dating anyone.  I needed to take a break because the last “relationship” was a bit of a heart breaker for me.  My heart needs to heal and trust that I will meet someone who cares about me as much as I care about him.

I'm back

I took a rather long break from my blog posts but I am back.  I haven't stopped my fitness and training.  I will probably go back and add those posts so I have a record of what I accomplished over the past few months.  I just got so busy with life that I haven't had much extra time to write my posts.  Well life changes everyday and I suddenly have found myself with free time in the evening again.  I will share a little more about that in The Single Life post later this week so stay tuned. 

I am excited to be back to my blogging and look forward to sharing my fitness, training and other posts with everyone.  I have been inspired by many other bloggers and Youtube personalities throughout the past couple years and just hope that I can do the same with my blog.
