So this morning my daughter did not want to run. She gets up late and takes 2 hours to get ready for the day, passive aggressive I-don't-want-to-run-but-I-know-its-really-good-for-me behavior. But I have a half marathon on sunday.
One cannot bs ones way through a half-marathon. This requires the time...the miles must be put in...the sweat must come..the clothes must be stinky! So this morning I wanted to run some other place, I left my home in the car and drove off. I also am looking for interesting safe routes for my Fat Chicks! So I took off and I did 5 miles. I stopped a couple of times to chat with women and invited them to join my group--the ladies told me "you need business cards with you!" I did not have any but maybe I need start carrying some! We need to move everyday. I know this, I don't really have to like this everyday but I try. You should know that--I have crappy days too. Today was a good day though. I ran my 5 miles. I enjoyed the sun, it was a beautiful day, I chatted with new friends and old friends. Sometimes I feel like my life won't be about paying the bills, the everyday grind, the overwhelminess of the ruts in life...but that it will be about helping women be better, with a focus on what they can become--as healthy and happy. You should know that I still struggle with thing like chips and salsa...all the junk, well ice cream..I love Ben & Jerry..I love them almost as much as mu husband! That says a lot! Walk everyday, don't make excuses. Run everyday, don't make excuses. Don't let the haters stop you from moving. They can, but shoosh them aside! Get out and run ladies, move your booty! |

M. Leaym-FernandezHey, I am a wife, a mom, a teacher, a wellness activist, and connecting all my parts together--I am an artist! I worry about what women are doing to themselves. Gaining weight, not having balance in life, letting the stress destroy our bodies. This blog is going to be full of stories, ideas, and whatevers that I find to help women not end up like the women in the movie "walli" fat, unable to move, unable to work, unable to live. I want to share my struggles, my story. Archives
