Training, Training, Training.....

It's all about the training!!!

About two weeks ago I signed up for a half marathon! Pretty exciting I know. I have always wanted to do a marathon, something to cross off my bucket list if you know what I mean. I decided to start small, simply to see how my body would accept the stress of training, along with the other daily stressors of my life, including working a full-time job and my other full-time job CF. So far so good. I have heard a lot of CF patients say that they can't do much during the day and when they do a small chore or errand they get down right exhausted. I am blessed to say that has not happened to me yet. I have hopes that it will never happen to me. Training my body for this marathon gives me the motivation and hope that I need to keep CF a step behind. This marathon has also given me a new outlook on daily medications. I know that if I am not healthy I will not be able to complete this marathon much less participate. I am a goal driven girl and if I set my mind to something I always achieve my goal. This is no different. Doing my daily medications and treatments has become more of a priority for me, because I am seeing results. I am seeing results when I run and seeing results in my overall health. It's all about the training, a few weeks ago treatments were sparatic and done on a need be basis, but I have also been training myself with my daily treatments as well. Getting into a routine really helps me get through the day. And at the end of the day I know that I have accomplished something, more than what I did the previous day and I know that tomorrow I will accomplish more than I have today.
