Day 1:

Well as the old saying goes. . . a journey begins with a single step. What if you are standing at the starting point, wherever that is, look down this path and think " Okay just pick up your foot. . . one after the other." Thinking you have gotten somewhere but in reality, you haven't moved.  Yet.

So what drives you?  What motivates you to pick up that foot, to take your first step into your journey?  As metaphorical as it may sound. . . appealing and hallmark-yish, I think I am that person that is still trying to find the right shoes to wear to this soiree so to speak.  I'm lucky enough to remember to put pants on day to day.  I'm also the person who can get distracted so easily. . .  I'm jealous of gnats since their attention span, well really their life span is longer compared to my attention span. I'm that gal that has a million tabs open in her brain. . . that forgets to close out one, or leaves another open, or forgets that there are a million already open and lost what I was looking for.  I need a post-it to remind me that I have a post-it, 5 or 6 calendars . . . yeah my attempt at being organized, focused and motivated, adulting, if you want to call it that, is not going so great.  But then again. . . I always hold out hope that one day I can call myself an adult.  Until then. . . I'm still looking for the right pair of shoes and my pants.  And maybe my shirt. That would probably help.

So now here it is. . . Day one, my first step, the beginning of my journey. Believe it or not. . . I'd like you to join me. If you'd like to that is.  Part of this trip is to hold me accountable until my 40th birthday.  I'm training to run one of the Disney runs.  I don't consider myself a runner by any means but this is something that I want to do.  I have a running bestie who is training with me and I am totally excited about it because she is taking the trip with me.  She makes it fun and time just flies by when we train.

There are gonna be highs. . . and lows. . . not gonna sugar coat this at all.  So consider this your warning label.  I will not be held responsible for the feelings you may have when reading some of my posts.  These are my own personal thoughts and opinions, take it or leave it.  And in cyber space. . . while digital ink NEVER dries, there is always the option of unfollowing. I like to let people know what they are getting into before they commit.

Tonight is a run night. . . we'll see how this goes.  Couch to 5K.  We can do this.  I can do this.  Now. . . where are my damn shoes?
