I feel like today is a great day to revisit my goals.

1.  Be done with the boy and everything to do with him.  Both of you do not have good timing, and just letting it be the way it is really is what is best for you.  I know you love him, but you have to let him go.

…wellllll, this is one is easier said then done.  Even when he lives on the other side of the country now.

2.  Decide what you want to do with your daytime hours.  The limbo is not worth the stress, and the agony of driving to work in the morning is not worth it. 

New job!  Started last Monday, and so far I am loving it!  There is something to be said for following your dreams.

3.  Allot your time appropriately.  Participate in activities that are meaningful for you.  Remember you only have 24 hours in a day, and use each of them with meaning and intent.

This has been going well.  Been doing things that I enjoy, and I don’t feel like I am wasting my time.  It also helps having 1 job instead of 3.

4.  Make good decisions.  Think of yourself and the bigger picture when choosing something. 

Good decision making for the win!

5.  Family is most important.  It’s hard right now, but always be supportive.  The hurt is tough, but know that it’s not your fault.  Love will win.

Not so much hurt anymore, but this guy has been put on the back burner.

The Lola PapersI recently read Amy Marxkors book, The Lola Papers: Marathons, Misadventures, and How I Became a Serious Runner. The book follows Amy’s transformation from newbie runner to a serious runner with a goal to run a sub-3:00 marathon.

The Lola Papers started out as a series of journal…

Mad love to Amy! This is a great book and I recommend everyone read it!

Got to meet up w the awesome @RunningRachel for lunch this afternoon. Ordered sandwiches from this little gem and had a picnic under a tree.

I kick myself for not meeting up sooner. She is hilarious and fun and she would have definitely made those long training runs more enjoyable.

I love it when Tumblr and real life get together. :)

Yes yes yes!  This was so much fun.  Perhaps I could have given you a better STL hill introduction!  Can’t wait to introduce you to Forest Park! Anyone else want to join us???

Tomorrow’s the day!

Training has been less than stellar but I’m still pretty pumped!

The rain should have just stayed away because now it is getting humid.

Good luck to shedreamsthendoes :) on her first half marathon and good luck to everyone running tomorrow! May your feet be swift, your stomach cooperate, and the weather not suck.
