Suffering is OPTIONAL

Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional.

Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional.

Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional.

I did it! Finishing my second half marathon at 2 hours 36 minutes, I couldn't be in more pain or feel more proud of myself! Despite shin splints, rain and cold, I beat my original finishing time by 10 minutes!

Thank you everyone for your support and tips! You all helped pull me through!

I'm heading into the shower before our Tampa blogger meet up. I'll be back later with a full race-recap and photos!

;)

hey guys!!

So everything is crazy right now. Work is taking me all over the place so I'm in and out of town often. My last semester at the University of South Florida begins later in August. I'm also working on playing catch up with seeing my friends.

My health? Eh.

I'm in constant pain. TMJ- more on that later. Exercise is non-existent. Food is not so good. I really believe the ball is either rolling or stopped. Right now it's not moving, but I'm trying- so many things keep getting in the way! But tomorrow is a new day!

(Why do these "quick" posts get so long???)

The reason I wrote this post was to leave you with a great quote. How about we all slow down and be gentle people for a while? I know I need the reminder every once in a while.
