note: i don't really like the term bitch. it's derogatory to women. i need to find a replacement for it. marcia suggested ape shit. maybe that will be the new phrase.
one of my goals this year is to run a half marathon. as i've struggled to lose and gain these last pounds on my budunkadunkfullofjunk, i've realized i need some type of goal that's not directly related to numbers on a scale.
so. this is the third week i've been running to train the half marathon in omaha at the end of september. and i've really enjoyed it. i love the feeling i get as i finish a run. but i do NOT like the hills. i mean i dread them. i look at them. i avoid them. but i know that i need to have them in my training schedule to get over them.
i'd rather not.
but. i'm learning a lot about kicking these hills in the tail so they don't kick me in the tail.
there have been plenty of times in my time here in omaha when it's felt like an uphill battle. i'd rather look behind me in the past and make my way back to things comfortable than push through it. i thought that i had some endurance, but i'm learning that i sometimes don't. in the past year i've worked hard at finding a circle of friends or different circles of friends that make me feel at home. finding friends has probably been one of the hardest battles that i've taken on while here in omaha. i love love love and miss miss miss all of my friends in memphis. so i've been deliberate about finding different avenues of finding friendships. i've had to go out of my comfort zone to put myself out there to say hello...and it's worked. i feel like i'm at the point of the hill where i can catch my breath for a moment.
and i'm just jara.

What an appropriate use of that video and what a good excuse for me to watch it again. :)
