Run Lindsey Run

I set a goal and I didn’t succeed – While I have a million reasons why this particular goal fell “below the line” – I’m still utterly frustrated.

My life is a rather complex textile (surely you all have figured that out by now) – work, school, kids, hobbies (from time to time), volunteering - obligations galore. My priorities shift like the winds where some days I am easygoing seeking adventure and other days I wish I had remembered to blink and breathe.

I’m always ready to take on whatever comes my way, which I might add was something I had to learn to do – it took much effort – it was worth it! I take the bull by the horns, give 110% and succeed just as I had planned with whatever I have set my mind to do. I vowed to succeed as I made it through nursing school, marital trouble, debt, my son’s cancer – I hate to let others down – but this time I let ME down. I know that there is no certainty attached to success and if it were guaranteed, how much of a challenge would it be after all? Would there be any value in the success?

So, it’s a must – a 5K is in my near future and half marathon shortly after that. I have been combing the internet looking for a run that is near and dear to my heart – while I did not run last Saturday in the St. Jude half marathon as I had planned – I know that my spirits were dampened by Jackson’s poor MRI report and my time was limited by almost 250 required clinical hours and teaching school – among 5,000 other things – I will start training again – I will find “the” event – I will participate – I will succeed.

Any Questions?
