Oh Blog, How I've Neglected You!

So much has happened and not really much at all.

I had my second race, the 10 mile Get Moving Tucson. I beat my goal time of 1:37:00, running the race in 1:34:17! I had a very special man running with me for about 6 miles who I believe made that time possible.

I just finished my last Co-requisite for the nursing program, Developmental Psychology, and I passed with an "A"! Now I just have to wait... and wait and wait. The tentative start date I received last spring said, "Fall 2013" but I just have to hope it will be sooner than that.

I guess I will just focus even more on my running, cooking/baking, and mothering. I really do miss adult interaction, though. A lot of people think I have a dream life because I don't have to work, I get to run and be with my daughter almost 24/7. Maybe I'm just too spoiled to see how nice it is to not have a job.

Which brings me to the reason I've come crawling back to my blog: I woke up this morning feeling sorry for myself. I actually cried about 4 times. Around 3 PM I ran. And I pushed myself a little bit. And it's very hard to feel sorry for yourself when you have two strong legs that can carry you for miles and miles, however fast or slow you want to go.

Something I want to focus on next year is making myself happy instead of waiting for other people to make me happy. I'm so exhausted by all the effort I've wasted trying to make everyone else happy in hopes that they will return the favor! It's insane that I even try.

Okay /poetic waxing.

Tonight for dinner I had half of a butternut squash, roasted with olive oil, salt, pepper, cinnamon and cayenne. And a couple hard boiled eggs. Not exactly something you'd expect to find paired but it made me happy. :-)

Blog, I'm back if you'll have me!
