I'm realizing that you HAVE to put yourself first in order to establish your own happiness. Only then can you really be up to share that joy with others.Taunyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09910930716947991035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20852692.post-1149645606478260142006-06-06T19:00:00.000-07:002006-06-06T19:00:00.000-07:00Well, I think you have made a great start.

I've been running off/on depending what was going on in my life but I think I'm finally becoming a real runner. It sounds like you are miles ahead of me in figuring it out but that is what life is about changing and adjusting as we grow. Good luck with your training.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20852692.post-1149645273775751002006-06-06T18:54:00.000-07:002006-06-06T18:54:00.000-07:00I will have to agree with anne.

I do it for personal rewards; to grow as a person, mentally, physically, and emotionally. Way to go! Be proud of yourself as a runner.teacherwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791382386588836461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20852692.post-1149642046139086092006-06-06T18:00:00.000-07:002006-06-06T18:00:00.000-07:00Actually, I'm not a single mom.

A woman I work with, who's also a single mom, cried buckets after she finished her first triathlon, not because it was over but because it was, in her words, "the most selfish thing I'd ever done." Then there's the whole "social drag" phenomenon where our family and friends haven't quite figured out we're not the same people before we started training for a marathon....<BR/><BR/>Sounds like you've had an epiphany. Before you know it, running will be as routine as brushing your teeth.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377440606704745517noreply@blogger.com
