Every time I post I apologize for neglecting my blog. I'm not gonna do that this time. I've been busy. That's it. Over it.
Lots has happened since my last post! I am still running! Whoo-hoo...I've built up my miles...wait for it....wait for it....I'm running EIGHT MILES now!! I must admit...It's ridiculous how much I love to run. When I get a little stressed, a little worried, a little overwhelmed...I crave a nice, long, drenched-in-sweat run. I love to run. A sweet friend has began calling me Forrest Gump. It's okay. Running clears my head, refreshes my spirit. And, it makes you kinda superhuman. I am blown away at how far my little legs can take me...I'm only 4'10, remember? I lost count on how many miles I've logged. Generally on my Saturday runs I run 8. But during the week I run at least 6. Two or three at a time on the treadmill at the gym. Although the treadmill is not the same, it's still running! Anyway...so I'm addicted to running. And as a bonus, I've lost 10 pounds. Sweet, huh?
Okay. So what else is going on, besides becoming a running fool?? Hmm. I now have a small business selling hair bows. "Bows by Damaris" is now open and taking orders! I started it about a month ago...with just two or three bow orders and then it just took off. I'm averaging about 3-4 orders a week. And when I say orders, I mean 4-6 bows at a time. No one orders just one bow. I also make bow holders, and tutus, and little cute clippies. It's so much fun. And it's good money. Of course, I have to make time to sit down and work. That's the hard part. But I love making new bows...and seeing them on my little customers is the best feeling ever!!
So, that's what's new...for the most part. I've spent the last several weeks evaluating my life. My 33rd birthday is right around the corner...and I am ready to start living for me. I'm a busy mom...and I always will be...but I need to make time for me. Running is my therapy...but so is my girl's night out's...which includes good girlfriends and good margaritas...and generally some live music...and a dance floor. Hey...I might be super busy, but unwinding is good for the soul.
And this girl likes to unwind. :)
Almost 33? Girl, you're old. I'm impressed with the distance you run. I've found that I love to run in my "old" age, but I'm nowhere near 6 miles. I got up to a 5K. You might want to check out RunKeeper if you have an iPhone or Android. I use it, and it can log outside or treadmill runs, plus other things.
ReplyDeleteYES! Almost 33!! I hope y'all are doing good. I'm good. Chasing kids and loving it. Please say hi to Amanda and all your family for me!...OH, and I use Running Tracker on my Evo to log my distance. I'm not running now..see next post...but I'll be back to it soon!
