Can't sleep

Can't sleep, so I'm going to blog. Makes me feel like someone is listening. I love that about this virtual world. Today I went to a class called "Group Groove". Wow. A month ago I was jogging 6 miles and could actually feel the strength and definition in my legs. After a lot of slacking I now look to this to get my heart rate up:

 So I'm not in the picture, but you get the idea. I was just too sore to run from my workout on Monday. It was fun. I amaze myself at how little pride I have sometimes. I actually got pretty into it.  (I know I sound really mean and snobby, sorry, but these are my thoughts nonetheless.) Now, in the summer I did this Super-sprint triathlon with my friend Claire.

 

It was something in my life that I can say I overcame a lot of fear and several obstacles to accomplish. I did well, but I didn't know that at the time I finished the race. All I could think was, Sarah, you did it! You can accomplish what you put your mind to! So now I am seeing the Moonlight Run in Lethbridge in my future and I have to decide if it's something I want to do. It would take every ounce of courage and motivation I have to try to get to a level I would be okay with in that 10k. But I remember the feeling I had after that triathlon and maybe it is worth it. Maybe life is worth trying at! So I think I'm going to start training again, yes it will take a lot of motivation and a bit more time away from my family, but I will try to make the time I am with them more quality. One way I want to do that is getting rid of this Sarah:
