Lately I've been in a wanting mood. I want new boots. New makeup. A wedding band. A house. A camera. A new hair straightener. It can be overwhelming and sad to realize you can't just run out and buy these things because there are bills to pay and savings accounts to grow. It also feels wrong to want when I already have so much more than many out there. I need to relax and be thankful.
Today, though, I got to satisfy one of my "wants"...I bought a new Macbook from a friend for an incredible deal. Its my birthday next week so between Danny and I, this is my present. So, here I am typing on my new toy (in bed!) and I'm all smiles.
In other news: I officially registered for the Disneyland Half Marathon and I'm so scared. I've never been a distance runner and after my knee surgery I was told never to run on a treadmill or the street, because of the impact. But that was 12 years ago and that's just silly to me now. Of course I'll consult a doctor, but I'm determined not to let anyone ruin this for me (including medical professionals). I lost a lot of active time when I was younger and I'm ready to take it back.
So far, I've been able to run one mile without stopping. Sounds weak, I know, but honestly I'm proud of that. Starting with baby steps...ending with 13.1 miles. *hopefully*
Wish me luck. =)
