If change is good....

Then why does it seem to be one of the biggest fears that most people have?

Change.

According to Webster; change is 

: to become different

: to make (someone or something) different

: to become something else

how do those options NOT sound like fun? Recently I have gone through a decent amount of change.

And it brought me to my knees.

For those of you that don't know me personally- I am a woman of faith. I do believe that every living being has a purpose on this earth and that there are times where you have to walk out of faith. That was a VERY easy sentence to type- but in the last three months I have actually HAD TO STEP OUT OF FAITH! Most terrifying and exciting thing I have ever done! I have worked all my life, both in school and than in the work place. I have worked hard to excel at anything I am tasked to do and have not done to shabby if I say so myself. But the one job I NEVER thought I would have is to be a stay at home mom. And then it happened. The forces of the world aligned and I resigned in October to be at home full time with my little ones.

As of late- I have begun to embrace it as well as recognize that I also need to do some things for me- and be the best version of myself. Although it is quite scary to admit that I haven't been!

So here it is... 2014... and I have set a goal for both myself and for you, if you are brave enough to accept it. 

Find something that scares the living daylight out of you this year... and then conquer it. 

That being said, this year I will be participating in the 2014 Heartland Series.... GASP. I cannot even believe I am doing this as I type it! But I am. What is that you may ask?


5 WEEKS – 3 RACES – 2 STATES

39.3 Miles

The Heartland 39.3 Series is a challenge for all of the half marathon fanatics who love to run half marathons and who want to take on the challenge of participating in three area half marathons in five weeks! 

No, this isn't my GREATEST fear, but this is definitely something I didn't want to do because I am afraid of it! So here we go- let the fun begin and the training commence.... (And yes... my sister MAY have peer pressured me into facing this challenge :))

What are you doing this year? Challenge yourself and please share it with me! I love to hear from you- remember YOU keep me going!

Happy training and be the change you want to be!

First run of the season.... Fast feet to you and yours this year!!
