Lessons Learned

Today's blog is brought to you in good humor and as a mockery of my own stupidity!!!

I never realize how hard headed I am until I sit back and look at decisions I make. Unfortunately for me, I'm that person who has to experience to learn. Let me explain.

Saturday, January 6 I had my first 8 mile run. Okay, 8 miles is a long way people. That's like, not even my commute to work!! But for some reason I felt that I was 'Rocky in the making' and could stay out until 4 in the morning the night before and still be at our run site by 7:45am the following morning to run for over an hour. While I was there at 7:45, that was the most HORRIBLE experience I have had in a long time. Even though I managed to rally and do it - there were times I felt my stomach was about to squirt right out of my belly button and fall on the pavement in front of me. It was rough I'm telling you. On top of that, the guilt I felt while running that morning was even worse. Knowing that a commitment I made to myself and more importantly to those in need could be ruined my childish decision really made me stop and think. It's when I have to sit down and know that every time I fall back on a workout or skip a day at the gym... the choice will come back to haunt me on April 28. So, with all that said. Although I'm 28 and feel I am an adult, I realize I am not... YET. So, today when I look back, I realize my lack of adult decision making skills can definitely see some room for improvement!

Hopefully I'm not alone in the stupid decision category, but if nothing else, I hope you have received a good laugh!

In closing, and to change the subject, I also realize that my commitment to you that I would have a new blog post each week is falling slightly behind, I recommit to be on my game and do better.
