Tomorrow morning I only have to get 4.4 miles in to hit 40. My run today<\/a>\u00a0went a little further than I originally planned. 2 more weeks and this challenge is done, and I can focus fully on the Rome Marathon and then a well-deserved rest. Holy crap do I need and want a rest!
\nI realized that Monday is the middle of March, I only have about 12 weeks left to this school year, and I can’t wait for it to be done. but I also have to work on finding things to do for the Summer. I need to make some money, but I also need to travel and get home to visit. The plan is to go home, London\/Engerland, Out of Puglia (if I’m not moving there) and get back up to Denmark. This work schedule is getting out of hand though, I have a 9 hour workday! I went on this course so my whole life wasn’t work anymore, but I found the place that makes this your whole life, all the time, and doesn’t pay you for it. If I wanted to work like an American, I could stay home. Alright, enough complaining. Sometimes you gotta vent.
\nSo I’m looking forward to the end of the month, Easter Break, sorely needed, plus next weekend is San Giuseppe! Sooo…zeppole everywhere! That is too exciting. I can’t think of anything better. Apparently, all week there is zeppole everywhere, so I’m looking forward to a pastry heavy week. haha! While most people are worried about their “beach bodies” I’m worried about my pastries. This has never, and will never, be a vanity thing for me. I was fat, I still carry fat on me. Big deal, I don’t care, I want to enjoy life.
\nThat’s the trick in life. Too many people spin their wheels and complain. I’m guilty of it sometimes too. (See above) But sometimes you finally have to say “Enough” and shove off from safe harbors and see what the sea has to offer you. Daunting to most, terrifying to some, but you have to do it. If all you’re going to do is complain, and stay in the same comfortable misery, using the same old systems, you have no hope. No matter how progressive, or wise you think you may be. You’re doing nothing, you’re going nowhere and nothing will ever happen. You have to go forth and make shit happen. That means being vulnerable, maybe getting into some shit and mixing it up with life. But if you’re strong enough and willing, you’ll learn something and find a better place. Gotta go out and sail on.
\nHave fun, keep running, and remember; If Gil can run then so can you!
