how i feel

by colleen on August 30, 2010

Things feel solid and settled in some ways. After an uphill climb, family, health, job, apartment & social = simultaneously good.
Plus, it will be Fall soon. A little chill in the air. My favorite season for fashion. The girl who loves Halloween. And wearing boots. Was always the nerd who was excited for back to school. Fresh notebooks and assignments. Not to mention the new TV season, and football’s return.
Am working out pretty hard these days: at bootcamp and with my trainer. I have all kinds of energy and strength. I forgot that I was like this. The marathoner. The ass kicker. Not that I am running much – it’s mostly just cross training. (I decided not to run a fall marathon for no other reason than I wasn’t keeping up with the long run schedule). Still, I am remembering how tough I can be … willful, determined.
This restored mojo has prompted me to line up a few different trips this Fall. ATL, Arkansas, Montreal, Maine … I am gonna be a regular jet setter. Because I can. I have my energy back. And the freedom to go off and, in the words of Jersey Shore, “do me.”
