Breaking

To start this post off, let me just apologize for not having any pictures on here yet...... I'm working on that. Breaking........ um yeah, these last few days have been about embracing breaking of all sorts of things. For starters, this week has not been the best for my running routine. In fact, I have not run at all!!! I was feeling like a loser for already slacking on one of my new years goals and then I semi made up for it. On Friday we went out with some friends and played Wolleyball. Which was a lot of fun but it definitely came with it's price. Yep, bruises on my arms and some old lady back pain.
Then on Saturday my Dad invited us to ride bikes with them. It has probably been  over 10 years since I have ridden a bicycle. It was definitely an adventure and I am sure tomorrow I will feel the pain. Between the two unexpected workouts I don't feel so bad for not running all week. I am also starting to feel grateful for the opportunities to exercise. I took it for granted when it was easier and I was younger but now I need it and it is hard. But I am learning to love it. I also had my first encounter with a high school student that made me feel old, which was the first time that has ever happened. I never have felt grown up. Sure, I have had grown up experiences, college, marriage, and babies but I still feel the same way I did when I graduated high school. In fact, whenever I see my friends from high school I am amazed at how grown up they seem and I don't feel like that at all. So when I was signing along to songs from the 90's around said high school students and she had never heard some of them I felt pretty old. Here I am singing these songs that have memories of the past attached to them and she says "yeah, you can tell these songs are older because there is no auto-tone!" Talk about a broken spirit! Oh well, I guess everyone gets older sometime!!!
