An Uphill Battle

Well a lot changed AGAIN in my life this week.  I ended my tenure with one company and began a new journey on Monday.

 

I have also been training for the Miracle 10 Miler race which takes place in just 5 days.  For my local readers you know "big bertha" all too well as the massive hill inside of Malden Park.  This 10 mile hilly race treks up Bertha 3 times...

 

This will be my 2nd time running the race.  I ran it last year and if not for my amazing mom who didn't leave my side the whole race,  I would have finished dead last.  She finished 1 second behind me crossing the mat.

 

This week as I prepare for my new career challenge and my 10 mile race I am reminded that the only competition I have is myself.  

 

I set my goals; it is up to ME to reach them.

 

Running, weight loss, career choices.... the loneliest set of challenges on the planet.  No two people will experience the same, no two people will have the same highs and lows...   

Together though, we know, we just gotta keep goin'.

WEIGHT CHANGE 

+1lb - I did extra weights and hill training so I'm hoping that's a pound of pure muscle that will power me through this race and help me kick the proverbial ass of the finish time 1:59:30.

HOW MANY LBS TO GO

13lbs
