What I learned in 49 years...

On the eve of my next trip around the sun.  What have I learned? 

  • Trying to let things go, especially if I have no control of whatever that is.
  • Hustled hard with my second gig especially the later part of the year, and I survived.
  • Eventually, even when I was as careful as I could be...I still got COVID.
  • I am okay with letting go the fact that I won't have little humans.  My fur kids give me so much joy.
  • I am accepting the fact that I'm getting ready to be in the next part of my life.
  • I am ready to be in a new Age-Group in Road Races.
  • I've learned to be more flexible and bend when it comes to training.
  • Had to end my seven year run streak during the summer when I got really sick.  And no, I couldn't wobble through a mile, it was that bad.
  • I PR'd this year in my half marathon, and I ran my fastest half in NYC.  So that's a big WIN.
  • I am also so so happy in my relationship, I'm so glad one ended so I could be where I am. 
  • I have hope in my career, I'm excited to see what is going to happen.
I know age is just a number, but I am privileged and so lucky to make it to my 50th year.  Half a century old and still kicking.
