Juneathon and other nonsense (DAY 1)

For those not familiar with Juneathon, here are the rules:

Run or do some form of exercise every day.
Blog or tweet (#juneathon) or post on the Juneathon Facebook Group page about it within 24 hours.
Join the Juneathon group at the Running Free website and log your runs/exercise. This is optional, but it's fun to see the miles build up for everyone.
Visit other blogs and leave comments, giving your support.
And that's about it really.
Good luck!

Here's the website: http://www.juneathon.com/index.html

I didn't run today, because yesterday was an epic bike ride (26 miles!) and legs were still uck this morning.
So I did a lunchtime walk of 2.6 miles. 

Admittedly, ramping up the activity lately has taken some getting used to. I'm sleeping REALLY well, but I have about 25 lbs. to lose and with extra weight comes less energy. Anyone else feeling me on this? Because us Wide Bottoms gotta stick together, right? 

Speaking of which, I encourage you to grab a friend (or a stranger. Why be picky?) and get out there and MOVE. I promise you'll feel better, your eyes will shine brighter and life will be just a little sunnier. 

Stay tuned for daily Juneathon updates. SO exciting.

Wildfire Secrets

Recently, because of an incredibly supportive significant other, I've started coming to terms with what it has meant in my life to be the daughter of a mother with severe mental illness, to be the sister of a woman with multiple handicaps, to be a smarter-than-average girl/woman, to be a girl/woman who had a lot of secrets, mostly family ones that she was expected to keep, to be a girl/woman who was bullied for being smart and/or less than attractive, to be a girl/woman who became "attractive" late in life and what that means in our society, and so many other things that I just thought I had to live with and didn't talk about it. And now I've been given permission to talk about it, and think about it, and admit it to myself, and bring it to light so it can die a healthy death. And I'm terrified. I'm terrified because I'm afraid of becoming that person who is defined by her problems. I'm afraid of being seen as a victim. I'm afraid of saying ...

Juneathon Day 16 and running thoughts

Did the Couch to 10K, Week 5, Day 2. There's a pretty significant jump in running time and I was a little worried. Going to 8 minutes at a time seemed a leap I couldn't keep up with. But I did! And it felt pretty good. It helps that the beginning of my run is more downhill and then the last part is uphill. Sounds weird, but it seems like the easier run gets me warmed up for the tough one and I'm able to get through it better. Anyway, Week 5 is almost in the bag and then there's the Week 6 jump. Ugh.
