Feeling Better...

Hi,
Today I am feeling lots better and I am thinking clearer. I still have a runny nose but in time that should go away. I have gotten motivated and have decided to run a half marathon by the end of August (I know I have plenty of time to train and get in shape to run it) I am a little scared because I am supposed to be up to 3 miles by the end of this month so by the end of June I will be running 8 miles and then in July I will be running 10 miles and I should be able to run it! I finally will get something off of my bucket list and I know the struggle in front of me will be the battle within me to keep going and to fight against the pain and the longing to be lazy. I hopefully have a few friends that will let me in on their running groups as they are running the same half marathon with me. I am so excited to get back in shape. Two summers ago I was running 8 miles. I do have to admit though, I am not the fastest runner around, but I am determined to keep going and to keep running. I hear once you start running and competing it becomes addicting and I am looking forward to it. Bring on the change.
I am also excited because I will be in shape and I will loose the last five pounds I have been needing to loose to be at my weight goal. (Which I started 4 years ago) It was a slow process but I am so close and I am determined to do what it takes to take that goal from my bucket list and make it permeant in my life.
I also have been trying to figure out what I am going to do with the rest of my life.You might be wondering what has inspired this post and I will tell you.

I love that thought. I feel that I have not let go of my past. I know, everyone has one and as my favorite songs say, "every story has a hero that has learned, you make your past your past, yeah you make your past your past." It is so true you look at the past long enough you can not focus on the future or on what is going to happen. 
Another quote I came across that I like equally as well that also has inspired me to get up and live life and accomplish things off of my bucket list so I can add the new things I have been dying to add to it. Is: 

I have found lately I have compared my life to others and mine never sounds so glamorous or fair, and that is another reason I have decided to tackle my bucket list and get things accomplished. To live a life in which to motivate and inspire others. 
I need to be off and running. :) 
As always thanks for reading.
