Good question, right? Well... I often find myself asking myself whay I sabotage all I do... No answer, at least I haven't found it yet... I run my first half and I haven't run again, I did a tri and sort of have forgotten about it, I do good at uni and stop working, hey... what's wrong with me? When things seem go to right I sort of stop, maybe I don't want to do it? Maybe I feel too much pressure (don't really feel it but could be unconcious...)? Maybe I don't want to do well? Who knows?!?!?
Oh well... I am feeling like getting out there and run again although I know I will have lost endurance buy hey... time to begin again, right?
Kids love gym camp in the am. Paula's got training in the afternoon too. She's competing on Sunday. Pol's taking a nap, I tidied the living room in the am... it's great!

Rain, rain, go away...
It's white week. I worked Monday and Tuesday and I'm off until Monday. Paula and Jan are at gym camp until 1, Pol's home with me (no camps for 2 year olds). Wanted to go out, to the park, for a walk... it's raining... guess we have to stay in. He's ok with it, no hurry to get dressed or anything, but I so would have liked to go out and about with him.
Also, wanted to go for a run today... hope it clears a bit and when hubby's back home I get to head out even if it's only for a few minutes! I really need to get going again... I didn't build up over a year just to throw the towel, did I? Plus I love it!
I watched this youtube video yesterday about a guy doing 500 marathons in 500 days in a row. And he talks about people giving the excuse of not finding time to go our for a run. He does on average, 3:40 marathons everyday, he says he takes away sleeping hours so he can go to work 8 hours and spend time with his family (wife and daugther). The challenge ends on Feb. 13th 2013. He started on Oct. 1st 2010... if he can find the time, heck... I can find 30 minutes, can't I????? He does it to raise money to help mentally disabled people... amazing! He already went all around Spain and in Summer finished a 150 marathons in 150 days challenge... he's amazing... he's lucky he's body's up for it too. He's skinny, needless to say and he's got a funny step too, like waddling kind of but nothing stops him. He changes his shoes every 850kms... so, that's very often. He has sponsors, obviously but the way he overcomes all obstacles, the mental power he has, is amazing... he said a challenge like this doesn't allow bad days or illness... he says he's gone out in freezing rain and a high temperature... seems crazy but it's doable, so has he proved it. He's 38. This is the video (in Spanish) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xm7GTTFCufo
And another pure inspiration is Team Hoyt, dad and son, Dick and Rick... amazing... the pure power of love! Any of the videos brings tears to your eyes no matter what kind of person you are, for sure! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDnrLv6z-mM I like this video because it talks about other disabled people... if they can, we ALL can... ordinary people doing extraordinary things... or maybe I should say... super extraordinary people, doing super extraordinary things... I really admire them. Thanks for setting such an example!

Finding motivation
Hi! Here I am again... I have to say that I am a very lucky girl. I have lots of people who love me and that itself makes everything special :D
I have been down in the dumps for a few weeks now... I wonder what makes that happen. But it's been that way. I feel lazy, unmotivated, just like throwing the towel and I don't like that...
But a few things happened today. First an e-mail from my brother... he's so special, he's so lovely and he so lifted my spirits up... I just love my family and my brother is very dear to me (we're not even 11 months apart, he's the youngest), I got him into running and we go to races together, we don't run together but we go there and get back together... always nice... and despite having to wait 20-25 minutes for me to finish he always congratulates me and tells me I'm a champ. I love you bro!
And then reading Susan's Cowtown Marathon chronicle... she's pure inspiration. I loved it. She's a champ and my hero <3
Then an e-mail from a friend I met while doing a protein diet giving me lovely advice.
And last but not least, getting the e-mail from the "cursa dels Bombers" in Barcelona... the best race I've gone to so far. It will be held on April 10th and because I participated last year and went for my diploma I have a full week to register before it's open to "everyone"... the thing is that I'd have to personally go to BCN and I don't think I can, still I will register as soon as it's open. 18,000 bibs and they fly in like 10 days... it sure is a wonderful race!
So... seeing a bit of light at the end of the tunnel and hoping to be able to pound the streets soon :D

Ugh, ugh, ugh...
Way out of control again... started so well on Jan 24th and I spoiled it all... Went down 4kg and back 2.5 up... ugh...
I definitely need to do something about it... it's so hard, it makes me feel so bad, so ashamed... I have to get going I really must.
I am so demotivated and so unmotivated and so like low... down... not nice... I haven't run in ages, I can't get myself out, I am eating really badly... hello? Wake up girl... you're 40 you know... it's about time I control my life!!!

Rett Syndrome
Let's help them!
I am a mother of 3 as you probably know. Just thinking our family could undergo something like this makes me shake. There's lots to be done. These families should get all the help they need from the authorities and everyone in order to give their children the best possible life.
