Life...sometimes

I am the big bead of sweat on a japanese anime character's face...

Wow, It's been a week since I posted? My goodness...time is flying. I can't believe it's already February.

It's raining hard outside...and I have no umbrella. My walk to the car is going to be quite fun...

Happy b-day shouts to the February babies so far; Jun, Gleen, Ellen, Oly, Nate, Auntie Wins, Val, Jamesy, Rozanno, mr Wil I ill, and lil Christine Chizoi!

I was able to run the HB Surf City Half Marathon without stopping this weekend! Quite the accomplishment I think...and this is the furthest I've run since I did the LA Marathon. I thought I'd never really get back into running again, but look at me go. Woohoo. I averaged a 10:38 pace, and I think if I quit smoking and train a little harder...I might actually be able to break the 10 minute mark! I've decided that I want to do the California Dreams Race series or whatever it's called...so I gotta train again so I can do the SF half in July and then the LB half in Oct - that's a lot of running! I can do it..I CAN do it! Yes, I can! Yes, I can!

So I've been seeing a chiro about my back problems and slowly but surely, it's getting better. The pain seems to radiate towards my right leg more when I'm sitting now, but it's not as painful to stand up. Hopefully this issue can be resolved soon and I can feel young again, he he he. Ragnar training starts this weekend and I'd like to be as close to 100% as possible. And getting back to 100% means I also need to start hitting the weights again...oh weights, how I've missed you... Here we go...time to step it up.

Been a bit of an insomniac again lately..worse than usual. My avg bedtime is 3AM and I am still waking up at 7:30ish, but not wanting to get up. That can't be good....i need some calgone...a good massage, and some sleep deeply music.

55 small things you can always do
47. Don't be afraid to ask for help; don't be afraid to give it.
This can't be said any more simply and any more clearly. There is nothing wrong with admitting that you need help. It actually shows more than pretending you don't need help and struggling through. Of course there is a fine line between asking for help when you need it and being too dependent, but for the most part, I think we know when we are more than capable of handling something ourselves or when we need a hand. In the same light, don't ever pass up the opportunity to lend that hand of yours when possible. It will come back to you...honest.
