Plow Through!

After a couple of weeks off I've had time to recharge the batteries, learn how to play Guitar Hero (VERY HARD!), and think about what is next.

Yesterday, Tony, Sarah and I enjoyed a long walk and talked about where our little group is going next- first a 10k then a 10 miles or half-marathon. All three are daunting, quite frankly unattainable a year ago, and a little scary. The scary part for me is that I have never done any of those distances in a race setting. Fear of the unknown can be the biggest stumbling block of them all! I know that I could lace up my shoes and run a 5k right now, I might not finish with a personal best, but I know that I would finish. I also know that we all can run any of those other distances because we have the tools do so; our run/walk rotations, the right shoes and most importantly each other.

In many aspects of my life I jump into something and I "Plow Through". Sometimes it comes out great, sometimes not so good. I have learned over the years to surround myself with people to help keep the plow moving. I don't mean that in a sponge, mooching kind of way. I have found that the people that I choose to spend time with complement me and I hope that I am doing the same for them. The best example of this is my husband, Dan. I look at the big picture and know it can be done and he is best at analyzing the details and making it happen. Sometimes we drive each other crazy, but we balance each other out at the same time and that is why we love each other and have been together long.

Our little running group pushes the plow together! The sum is greater than its parts and all that. It must be Sunday I am awfully philosophical this morning. Well, enough of that-Plow ON!
