Step one in the training process is always to make a commitment to your goal. It seems to me that step one might be the very hardest part. I can say I will finish this race all I want to. But actually doing it? Well, that is something completely different. I want to finish. I really do. And by finish, I mean I want to make reading a bigger part of my life. It just takes time and dedication. Both are things I am going to have to find in the back of my minivan under should pads and water bottles. However...after purchasing the book I've been waiting to read at Target last night, I think I'll be more motivated to find them. I have heard nothing but rave reviews of the movie 'The Help'. I kept myself from seeing the movie because I really wanted to read the book first. Now...I can!
As I stretch and get myself all ready for my first "run" with this book, I am excited to dive into the story that has so many people talking. I have heard there will be laughter and tears. Both being things that come quite easy to me. I am an emotional person. There is no better way to describe my feelings other than fragile. I laugh loud and cry easily. Things touch my heart before they ever reach my brain. And I am just fine with that. I am anxious to take off my make up, put on my sweats and cozy up with my new book. Later tonight of course...after dinner, homework, football practice and bedtime. This is where dedication comes in. :D
