I'm feeling extremely inspired today. Not 100% sure why, but life lessons as of late have been just that....inspiring and motivating. I went for a run last night and I'm proud to say I can run about 5-7kms which may not seem that great.....but I have little to no pain in my knees during and after the run. Which to me is a MIRACLE. After my surgeries I literally thought I would never NOT know pain. This is very promising as I am gearing up for a triathlon in Clear Lake in August. I'm going to do the Sprint distance (750m Swim / 20k Bike / 5k Run) with my main goal to do an Ironman Triathlon in my lifetime! They haven't set the official date in August but I have 11 months to prepare and will likely start heavy training 6 months out....for me I don't want my fitness to be about losing weight or looking good (although it often is :) I want it to also be about being in great physical shape. Doing the triathlon and training for it will definitely help me to get there!
Another thought of the day.....why do we always hurt the ones we love the most. Is it because we know that it won't have the repercussions it would with someone you don't know as well ?? As much as this bugs me - it's life and will never change. I try to be conscious of this fact but I am still very guilty for doing it. I guess when you know the right buttons to push you do so willingly for whatever the motivation. I often think that many people are hurting and they want someone else to hurt like they are....I could write forever on this topic but should move along for fear of realizing how much I probably do this myself.
Where do the years go?? It seems that each year goes by faster then the previous...I am reminded of this as it is my baby sister's 23rd Birthday. Happy Birthday Tammy. It makes me both happy and sad that it's her birthday. Sad that we can't go back to the days gone past. I've spent many many hours with my sis - having moved so much she was one of the only constants in my life. I sure do miss the days of living in the same house as her.
Happy because she has grown into such a beautiful caring soul. Her strength and heart amaze me daily and I have learned so much from her (although I probably won't admit it outright :) It's her champagne birthday (turning 23 on the 23rd) and she will be celebrating in the states....oh how I wish I didn't have to work!
That's it for now....off to the gym to make myself sore....oh how I love the day after the day after ;)
