I love this blog!
I want to draw!
Soon (so soon) it will be spring!

I am taking care of sticking issues one by one in ways that I have forgotten were fundamentally good for me and it is giving me such peace.

Something in me has changed - maybe it is the band - but I have come to realize that I've only been living halfway, for far too long. I've surrendered to the banalities of a day job and allowed those stresses to weigh me down when those should not be the things that worry me.

I've let my running become an obsession - to the point where I think about the prospect of missing a couple runs and worry that I am going to lose all of the muscle mass I've built up in my legs. That is not where I wanted to be. So I am taking the rest of the week off until Saturday, because I know my body and mind need the rest and because I really need to realize that the world is not going to end if I break my schedule.

And everything is going to be okay. In the spectrum of my life, the half-marathon is only a small blip - what's more important is the journey I've made to get there.
