Yesterday I have to say was a great day. I was very productive at work and was able to leave the office a little early to workout. I met my running group to begin day 1 of my half marathon training plan. It was only 3 miles and it was very slow! I realized as I hit mile 1 that I hadn't ran since Thanksgiving! I pretty much took time off from running after my half marathon in October, my knees pretty much called it quits.
Although the run was slow, it was great to get out and just move. After my 3 miles, I hit the gym for about 20 minutes and did some light all over body weights. I figured light and from head to toe would be a great break in. I felt a little sore this morning waking up but I felt better.
I'll be hitting the gym after work today and I'll do a SealFit work out of the day! I'll follow it up with a light 30 minute spin on my cycle trainer at home.
Oh yeah! My dad has been deployed to Iraq for the past 3.5 years. He has worked with KBR and a security company. I will say he took these jobs because the pay is higher, but only because times hit my folks hard. His hard work overseas has only gotten my parents out of the black but they are still in the red. It breaks my heart that my folks work so hard and have nothing for retirement. Anyways, my dad is finally taking a vacation! He will come to visit me next month! I am so excited! My sister might even come up from Georgia so we can have a mini family reunion.
I am thankful for all the blessings in my life. I am so thankful that I have all of my needs met and than some. The Army is a tough life and we are asked to sacrifice a lot, but I wouldn't trade a day! I love everything that I have accomplished as an officer, a person and a leader. I love that I am a part of something bigger than me. I love that with this job, I get a sense of security, I get a pay check every 2 weeks and as long God willing I will retire in 10 years.
Well off to do some work! Hope you all have a great day!
