INSPIRATION

INSPIRATION: arousal of the mind to special unusual activity or creativity. I feel like I need some inspiration to tackle the things I need to do. I need to clean out and organize the kids closets and pantry. I feel like that takes some creativity on my part. I need to find a way to maximize the space we have and to do it in a fashion that the kids can relate to. I need them to be able to relate to how I set things up so there are less messes. Any ideas?

I also need some inspiration for this race I signed up for. It seemed like a great idea 3 months ago. My body is tired and my mind is bored when I run for longer than an hour. After running for 1 hour straight I run out of things to keep my mind off what I am doing. By this point my head phones are all sweaty (it bugs me to no end) and my clothes are soaked. Now running for 1 hour straight for me is only getting through 5 miles. I still need to add 8 more miles onto this. See where I am going with this???? I have ran 6.5 miles as my longest run yet, but this 13 mile race is in 3 months. Can I do it? Give me some inspiration!

I don't know about your pantry and closets - I need inspiration for that too. But what about listening to a book on your I-pod for the running? That might keep your mind occupied for a longer time. Or what about running with a friend? i know when i am running with someone else, the time flies by.

I walked/jogged that marathon 3 years in a row (last year being the first that I did not)...I know the only thing that got me by was good conversation! Good for you for running it though, the last year I did it I had major blisters, toenails falling off, and sore legs and feet for weeks...(that is why I have since stopped the marathon scene!). Good luck!!!

Sorry, I can't help you with the organization part. I could send Kendal over though, she LOVES to organize!

a month ago the farthest you had ran was 4 miles...look how much improvement a month has brought. Also, once you start running outside it will be so much better. Maybe one thing you can think about while running is organizing. BTW I will totally come over and get your closets and pantry into shape. I'm really good at that!
