What's Working (and not so much...) Wednesday: Bravery
1.This weather we're havin' in California! Folks in the blizzard infested parts of the US- don't hate me, but I did my post bike run outdoors in a tank top and run skirt. I know...
2. I added a new lil' tab GFTW Coaching and Training on this here blog. You'll see it up top. I've always just used an attachment I'd email to potential clients, but I'm beginning to marry my GFTW theme into my training business. It's all a process right?
3. Ramona the Brave! This week the kids and I embarked on our first read aloud chapter book experience. And they love it. And can ya guess what their first question was ? 'Mommy, what does Brave mean'? Ah man, it was perfect. And it was a great personal reminder to find that inner bravery, even in the smallest acts. Like finally putting up a GFTW Coaching tab here;-)
And now...Not so Much...
I gotta admit, w/out sounding too Polyannish...most things are goin' right this week. BUT there are a few...
1. Too much coffee! For whatever reason, I think it's fine to once again have ~4 plus cups of coffee a day. And it's makin' me shake and sweat really weird (just bein' honest). So...no more than 2 AM!
2. Still haven't firmed up my training plan for the year. I know BDD has a newly created Bible (jealous!), and I have the parts to create my plan...I just need to do it. Def in the next few wks.
And that's what's workin'...and not so much for me over here. Now...YOU! What's workin' and not so much for you in your neck of the woods? Talk to me, talk to me! Would love to know!

I agree, our CA weather is just amazing but I can't shake that feeling that this is not right. I actually miss rain, but for now I am enjoying all that vitamin D I get from being outside.
Aww..Ramona the brave is a great book! Enjoy reading it with your kiddos!
I didn't enjoy the frozen hair I had this morning after swimming.
I want to be like Ramona!
I LOVE Ramona...grew up with those books.
What's not working: like you, the coffee.. :-/
I *heart* Beverly Cleary!
Working here:
longish runs are feeling amazing and quicker than I imagined :) eating pretty well, being pretty nice to my kids, convinced hubby to clear his big useless cabinets out of the garage... giving the illusion of an uncluttered garage ;-) been being a 'good' wife ;-)
Not so much:
need more sleep... still, need more water... still, need to spend more time on the foam roller.
I love your Wednesdays... they really make me think :)
Happy Wed!
Love that book though. good luck with the trainng plan.

What's working: Cross-country skiing... just got into it about a month ago and am LOVING it!
What's not working: Some tightness/tension in the tendon that goes across my left knee. I'm giving it some rest at my coach's advice. I'm not used to being sidelined!
Glad to hear you are having such a good week!
what's working for me: finally starting to do master's swimming - only 1x/week - but it feels good to be swimming
not so much: need to plan food better - eating too much junk due to lack of planning....
