Change...

by Michelle Davies


WOW can't believe my last post was a year ago...not very committed I'd say.  

With my recent move to Las Vegas from Ventura, 'change' has been ever present to say the least! It's been awhile since I started all over and I'm sooo ready for a re-start or "begin again" as they say in mindfulness.

I envisioned it all somewhat different in my mind vs my reality.  I saw the change as something so much easier then it is or maybe I'm overthinking it. Juggling working from home, babysitting my granddaughter, trying to adjust to running in the desert and wanting to met new people - it just hasn't quite unfolded as I saw it in my mind - LOL!  I mean I'm not surprised, but still.  

What I have discovered is how much fear and self doubt can really sabotage the best laid plans. I'm pretty sadden and frustrated with myself.  

I've run for most of my life  - 31 years actually - I know a lot about the sport and although I may not be fast and yes I'm struggling with the heat of the desert, fear is ever present.  The thing is I KNOW it's all in my head and I know the running community is amazing group of people.  I find it so frustrating that I have let it control my actions for the last month.  So tomorrow I'm going to push those feelings aside, and just run...the way I always do...feeding my soul!
