motivation

Where is it??
This is something I am currently lacking.
I'm supposed to run a 10k (6.2 miles) in 2 weeks.
That should get me motivated right?
Now for some people that would be no big deal, but when I run outside I should feel like this,
When I really feel like this,
What was I thinking! and then after try and train for an 80 mile bike ride 2 months after that?!? Every time before I go on a run, I get a little nervous. I don't know why. I think to myself, "I'm going to make it 3 miles today". I come home and think, "That had to forsure be 3 miles. I'm so tired!", but when I track it in my car afterwards it was only 2 or 2.5.?? Arg! It's now been a week since I've ran (sickness and weather) and I'm now lacking the motivation to get out there. Now I'm doing this not only to get back in shape and drop my baby weight, and not only because it was a new years goal, but to feel good about myself! that should be enough for motivation right?!

Dear Grandpa,

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed my first taste of sugar yesterday.
I loved sucking on that Fun Dip stick for a few seconds before mom walked in and got mad at you.
Love, Maggie

being creative?

So all I have done the last 2 days is crochet. I'm stretching myself. I just kind of make up these patterns so it's all about trial and error, but luckily they turned out pretty good. My poor model is getting sick of me. What will be next...

i love the felt ones in the top left corner! I'll definitely make more of those. My wonderful sis Cas taught me how to make those adorable fabric flowers on the right and today I sat in front of the computer watching a girl on Youtube crocheting the flowers.
