This blog is about juggling a busy career, marriage, a love of running, a passion for water, and a desire to be more fit and healthy. It is about everyday and how we balance the expected in life with the unexpected and keep on "RUNin'". I am not that extraordinary or facing anything you aren't; just taking care of an aging parent and my 6 cats. Learning to roll with it and hang on for the ride, hopefully with a little humor and a dash of sarcasm!

Halfway There 2014
It is the end of June and officially half the year is behind us. A good time to see how I am doing with my goals for 2014. .
1) Stretch past my self-imposed limits and boundaries - This means both physically and mentally. I have been trying to work on this. I have been trying some new things and I registered for a summer half on September 6th. I am not a big fan of running in the heat! I have also faced the death of my brother and a move. I went back and joined a gym again so I could go back to strength training. I think I am stretching myself.
2) Live my priorities - I have actually been doing pretty well with this. I have been leaving work on time. I have been altering my schedule and I even work through lunch so I can get to the gym on time. Now that things are settling down I am blogging more. Hubby and I have been spending time together and when my family needed me I took a week off to help wit my brother. I also put my phone up earlier. Whatever it is I am home and it can wait.
3) Run Everyday that I am able - March and early April this took a nose dive with pneumonia. Prior to that and after that I have been doing great. Right now I have been on a running streak since April 16th. I plan to run through July everyday.
4) Practice gratitude - I think I have been doing well with this. To be candid it is easier to be grateful when huge things happen that remind you how lucky you are. Aside from that I try to recognize the small moments that make me truly fortunate.
How are your goals mid-year?
Today I am grateful to be imperfect but striving to be better.
