Sometimes I need a reminder to de-stress and NOT distress! I know there was a lot of sadness in the world yesterday and some of it came out of Omaha and hit home in Lincoln. As a parent it makes me wonder what I should be doing differently now. Lord knows I can't predict the future and can't save my son from everything, especially the unknown. I can only love him the best way I know how and pray for the best. Elijah has his only struggles and at age 8 it makes me worry about how he'll be as he gets older. I can only instill him in daily to do the right thing and to start fresh when we've had a bad day. Yesterday was a challenging day for us as well, obviously not as jugley disturbing in the larger scheme of things, but big enough for us. E struggled with some behavior issues and wasn't able to go to the after school program at school. His words and actions scared another little girl and really shook her up. He did write an apology letter to her first thing this morning and put money in the "swearing jar". He'll also be helping before and after school to clean and help with other projects as needed. I love him so much and am grateful for all the support we receive. I can only do my best.
On another note, the kickboxing class last night was pretty good. I would definitely entertain the idea of going each week. It will be a nice addition to my schedule:
Mon:spinning
Tues run
Wed:kickboxing
Thurs:run
Fri:spinning or run
Sat:bootcamp/run
Sun:run
This does allow for a day or two to skip when/if needed so no worries.
I have my half marathon training schedule printed out and hung up. I just don't want to give up too much of the cross training activities I have going. I will definitely have to play around and find the right balance.
I am looking forward to spinning class tonight, a short run on Friday and maybe again Saturday and taking Sunday off. GO CHIEFS!!!
It's been a week now, I'm waiting for an update!!
