March Madness

Let the wild rumpus begin! Isn't that a great opening line for anything?  Thank you so much to the late Maurice Sendak for those wonderful words!

Indeed March will be a time of wild rumpusness!  It is a word, because I just typed it! :)  This is the month that I begin on the road to physical fitness.  Oh the journey continues!

In January I decided that in order to be the new me, I had to change.  I had to change my way of thinking.  I had to learn to let go and move forward.  Like I tell my girls, onward and upward!  I know that I can't be the best me I want to be if I am stuck in the same old patterns.  So off I went.

I signed up for two 5k races in May.  One of them is a run memorializing a young lady from my hometown who was tragically killed by a drunk driver just up the road from my house.  If you feel inclined and are near Independence come join the LBRun at Blue River Community College Campus.  The other is sponsored by the city of Independence and it is the at Waterfall Park-isn't that a beautiful name, anyway I digress.

So for March, and in the hope that spring will show up eventually, I am beginning to the physical training part of the new me! My eventual goal isn't to be a size zero---it is to be feel fabulous after I walk up two flights of stairs instead of feeling like I want to take a nap!

I am growing my wings---I will soar eventually! Wish me luck!  Any of you physically more fit friends have any advice?  Let me know! I am such a beginner at this fitness stuff!
