It’s official! My friend Hilary and I are registered to run January 10th in Walt Disney World! Maybe I’m just a sucker for the mouse and the other Disney characters I will see along the way, but I’m excited!
Day one of training started this evening with forty minutes on the treadmill, nothing impressive I assure you, especially since I still have the tail end of a cold, but at least I’ve started. Starting was made a little easier by an irritating situation I had today with a patient’s family member. I am one of those people that dwells on how I reacted to a situation, and what I wish I could have said or done differently. I wish I could say I only let this bother me for a short time, but sometimes it will take years for me to move on. This is incredibly unhealthy and I’m working on it, but it’s hard when you remember the situations so well.
I wish I could think of the right things to say in the moment, but my naturally introverted nature won’t seem to let me. I have heard that people that can come off with good retorts when provoked can have just as much anguish, but I don’t have any personal experience with that so I can’t say.
I will say starting training helped me let go a little, and envision happier movements like rounding around Cinderella’s Castle and purchasing Disney Princess inspired New Balances.
Until next time!

P.S. My favorite song during my workout today was Fix My Eyes by For King and Country, definitely worth adding to your playlist!
